Well, it could, but there should be no need to do so. libc0.2-dev provides libc6-dev, so that we can avoid changing a lot of development packages. The broader problem is that dpkg doesn't cope with versioned dependencies on provided packages. Why it is so hard to fix that I don't know, but I was told that Ben Collins is working on that (for several months now). There are several places where dpkg fails here with the Hurd archive, not only libstdc++2.10-dev. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
