Dear release team,

I realize that this request arrives late in the release cycle, sorry
about that.

Starting with glibc 2.31-4 uploaded back in November, the libnsl2
library is not provided by the libc6 package but by a separate package.
The libc6 package depends in libnsl2 to ensure that the library is
installed, but we would like to remove that dependency at some point as
it creates a dependency cycle. For that it is enough to just rebuild
packages against glibc >= 2.31-4, which happened already for all
affected packages (through maintainer upload or binNMUs), except one:

nmu postfix_3.5.6-1 . ANY . unstable . -m "Rebuilt against recent glibc to get 
a dependency on libnsl"

I guess the risk for this rebuild is low and might happen anyway at some
point during a security upload. Thanks for considering.

Regards,
Aurelien
