I was going to submit a bug report of my own, but it turns out this bug is over two years old.
The reason I ran across it is that I trashed my /usr/share directory accidentally on purpose (heh), and in hopes of restoring it I marked all my packages for re-install in aptitude. I spent a couple hours narrowing down what combinations of packages invoked the bug, and when I had it down to two (libc6 and libncurses5 as it turns out), and I could re-produce it on another machine, I went and looked at bugs.debian.org only to find it's a known bug. So, having spent some time chasing this down I decided I'd mail in a "me too" to freshen the bug. The ability to re-install all the current packages seems like a Good Thing to me. So, if there's anything a mere user can do to help with this bug, I'm available.
