The problem is that libc5-dev doesn't exist in hamm.  Hamm has
libc5-altdev instead.  This forces people who want to compile libc5 stuff
into the altgcc/lib*-altdev mode, requiring the mass removal and
installation of a whole set of development packages.  I'm against forcing
people into that just to install "a couple of packages" from hamm.
