I got A LOT of problems when trying to upgrade, my lack of response the past few days is because I was fixing my box. :) Well, this is the 'best' way to upgrade to glibc2, unfortunately, it is a very undesirable solution. Install 1.3.R6 fresh, THEN as dselect comes up, cancel, and immediately run the autoup.sh. It would be better if you predownloaded the "first hamm packages" first, but the script will prompt you. Ok.. run the script, then install everything. This will give you a VERY clean install of Debian 2.0 (unstable).
I moronically did a few critical errors while doing this. I installed "NIS" or something that I never heard of which broke my shadow passwords. And.. Accelerated X4.1 would NOT run with glibc2! Very very frustrating. I reinstalled back to Debian 1.3R6... and I feel great about it. To be honest, I really do not know of the "big advantages" of glibc2, and until support is stabilize 100%, I do not think it is worthwhile unless you have some spare time and it is not a production box. (glibc2 is supposed to be faster... linux already runs quick enough?!?)
