I was hoping that this problem won't come up, but it seems like
it has...
I like the way of having a full-libc6 udeb, for additional modules.
Logic being that if one can install additional udebs,
they should probably be able to install libc6.udeb.
I was kind of thinking of "udebootstrap", but that might be a bit more
tricky.
