Looking at the bugs, two show just that the package is neglected - they have patches for some time. The remaining ones: #336367: FTBFS: uclibc missing asm-i486/mman.h should be easy as well #261725: libuclibc0 - violates FHS as this is a cross-suite, I think the reasons for sarge-ignore are still valid enough to not really mind about this bug - but we need some perspective that it is actually resolved in time for lenny.
