Now that libc6-i386 has switched from "Conflicts:" to "Breaks:", to make
sure that the libc6-i386 preinst is run first, the following conflicts
is enough:

Conflicts: libc6-i386 (<= 2.9-18)

The "Pre-Depends:" alternative proposed by Goswin works, but has more
chances to trigger dependencies loops in apt or aptitude.
