Certainly I'm not going to advocate radvd's build system - my only
concern is your change will break more packages out there, mere ten days
prior to the scheduled release.
So to me it seems wiser to revert the changes to linux-libc-dev for
stretch. Else, someone(tm) would have to test-rebuild all the packages
that build-depend on linux-libc-dev to check for damage, and provide
help how to deal with something that technically is a library
transition.
