As people have said, you can install them both--the packages named
'libc5' and 'libc6'. The complications are in the '-dev' packages and
the compilation environment. libc5-dev and libc6-dev cannot coexist.
The current gcc package conflicts with libc5-dev, so if you want to keep
up with unstable, you'll have to install libc6-dev to compile any C
programs.
If you want to do that, *and* also be able to compile in a libc5
environment, there are a few packages meant to allow that by having an
alternative gcc and C library on the system: libc5-altdev, altgcc, and
libdl1-altdev (the only ones I've seen). I haven't tried these.
Hope this clarifies things a little, anyway -
