Hello Joel, libc6-dev is the only package that provide libc-dev, so it is not strict, let alone excessively strict. I suspect you are referring to non-glibc ports. In that case, 'libc6-dev | libc-dev' is not correct because on a non glibc port, libc6-dev will not exist and libc-dev might be a purely virtual dependency. I propose you restate the problem you really have, and we try to address it correctly.
