I don't know about the Right way, but the method that appeals to me is
(assuming it's possible) to make dpkg-shlibdeps not obey LD_PRELOAD
(and thus not use fakeroot), because apart from this issue (when libc6
has a versioned shlibs file) there is also the problem of fakeroot
being used to build libc5-compat packages.

No, it's not, run ldd with and without fakeroot on a libc5-compat
library...

[Of course, IMHO, the *real* solution to all of these problems is not
to use fakeroot or libtricks at all but sudo or something similar]
