Thanks for your very valid comments.

Libsafe is probably obsolete.  It doesn't work the way it was
designed, because of some not-very-recent changes to glibc, and
libsafe is no longer maintained upstream.

See the other serious bugs against libsafe
(http://bugs.debian.org/libsafe) for more details.

It will probably never get into Debian testing or stable.

One of these days, I may remove it entirely.

By the way, if you're playing with unstable, you should probably
install apt-listbugs (to find out about serious bugs before you
install/upgrade packages), and install (and use) dpkg-repack (to be 
able to recover from bugs and other surprises in upgraded
packages).

Good luck, and thanks for the report.
