Hm, only started dpkg. So I suspected it.

D*mn, my fault. The commands were:
$ dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.9-24_amd64.deb
$ ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.shlibs
$ dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.9-24_amd64.deb
$ ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.shlibs

No, they are the ones from lenny (unmodified).

I did the same thing as mentioned above and cannot reproduce the problem
anymore. Also did some tests with `aptitude reinstall libc6`, but it didn't
work. The only thing I did in between was to reboot. Maybe it is/was a
filesystem bug... which would be cruel. I will mark this bug as unreproducible
for now.
