Hello,
when I tried to upgrade libc6 with apt-get 0.5.3, I encountered a
number of problems. As I am not sure what packages are at fault, I
will post here, as maybe some other debian developers can comment.
I think resolving these problems is very important if the freeze is to
take place any time

Which is good but then how are you supposed to test them :) Just install
them in a chroot and you won't have to worry about it.
