Ah, they've added symbols files to glibc now, which will help a lot; glibc
often doesn't really break anything, just has to increase its shlibs file.
Still, I do expect something to break at some point.

Hm, I wonder if backports.org will accept packages that would install from
testing due to the symbols support.  I guess we'll find out!
