Package: libc6-i686
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-11
Severity: minor

The package description says:
| This package includes support for NPTL.  The optimized libraries will
| not be used unless you are using a 2.6 kernel.

It is unclear (at least to me, so probably also to others) whether this
means that:

- optimized NPTL functions will only be used with 2.6 kernels, the rest
  will work with either 2.4 or 2.6

or,

- this whole package, libc6-i686, will only be used with 2.6 kernels

The two sentences are on the same paragraph (suggesting they are
related), but this is not clear from the wording...
