The entertaining flip-side to this bug is that receipt of my own bug report
mail was delayed for 5 hours, because after upgrading glibc, postfix smtpd
started segfaulting.

  Mar  2 00:05:00 minbar kernel: [31907.000813] smtpd[22263]: segfault at d89c0 
ip 000d89c0 sp bfa26100 error 4 in libcrypt-2.9.so[b7801000+9000]

Restarting postfix with the init script was enough to resolve this.

So I wonder if the libc6.preinst has been pruned too aggressively...
