It is something that should automatically get done correctly as long as the libc-dev package defines the minimum version that way. The mechanism that determines this is in /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.shlibs. Currently this has lines like: libc 6 libc6 (>= 2.9) It's virtually certain that the shlibs file will be updated to read '(>= 2.10)' when the glibc maintainers switch to that version.
