Debhelper for a libc5-based system?

I just uploaded a libc6 version of r-base, a package for statistical computing and graphics. I would also like to create a libc5-based version of this package. Even if it doesn't get into the official Debian distributions it will be helpful for several people who run libc5-based systems. I used

sulogin timeout, in /etc/init.d/checkroot

Now that we're using rcS.d rather than /etc/init.d/boot, I've noticed some different behavior from 'sulogin'. I have "SULOGIN=yes", so I have a chance to go single-user on reboot. However, the timeout does not work! If I reboot the machine, I must physically hit "^D" to continue the boot, no mat

su and init scripts

When using su to change the user you do not get that user's login shell, but the one listed in the environment variable SHELL. I have no idea why this is done, but I don't think it's very intuitive. Anyway, there's a problem with this behaviour when a shell does not behave as sh would. For instance

BUG: ncftp segfaults on big screens

BUG: SVGATextMode or GPM

I am running lastest hamm, and when I upgraded to the new svgatextmode, it asked to remove the /etc/rc.boot files, and install new ones. I did so, but when I rebooted, it executed after gpm. When I boot, the kernel uses 80x25, and when svgatextmode runs, it changes it to 180x80. However, the
