 You are right, of course.  There an unfortunate many packages with this
 dependency.  It is, in fact, totally unnecessary since libc6-dev is
 build-essential anyway.
 
 I wanted to get things going and too many things were failing because of
 that dep.  Obviously this will have to come out later.

Fair enough, I suppose. If we can, it might be good to throw an obvious
warning about these, since they're all guaranteed to be worth of a wishlist
bug (since I try to avoid filing anything higher than wishlist for NetBSD
stuff, *unless* it's something that worked before, and broke). Occasionally
it's a versioned libc6-dev, which is still useful, but needs to be
alternatively bound to libc-dev, obviously.

As long as the actual Depends that end up used have the libc-12 values,
it's not terribly crucial, though.

I should also point out that I don't expect these .debs to just be
copied over to ftp.debian.org when/if we get space there; some of the
.debs have nasty hacks (like this one) to help get things bootstrapped.
Once we have a more complete build environment, and better patches for
some things, more correct packages should go to the official archive.
