/etc/rcS.d doesn't exist, and the libc6 package doesn't depend on the package
that provides it, namely sysvinit. The nice thing is that sysvinit pre-depends
on libc6 ;-) Obviously the libc6 maintainer didn't ever try to upgrade from
1.3.1.
Should be solvable easily with mkdir /etc/rcS.d and then apt again.
You can of course also do this _before_ starting the upgrade. Must go in the
docs sometime.
