Interesting, I couldn't remove libstdc++.so.5:
$ ls -l /usr/lib | grep libstdc++.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2008-04-07 06:14 libstdc++.so.5 ->
libstdc++.so.5.0.7
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 737624 2007-01-03 13:47 libstdc++.so.5.0.7
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-04-22 09:40 libstdc++.so.6 ->
libstdc++.so.6.0.8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 909044 2006-12-10 09:45 libstdc++.so.6.0.8
$ sudo aptitude remove libstdc++.so.5.0.7
...
Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched
"libstdc++.so.5.0.7"
It occurred to me that something else might need libstdc++.so.5, and so
decided against removing it, for it does not harm there, even if not
needed by this particular application.
