I don't mind to remove it. However, if you want to delete Provides:
libc6-dev, please fill bug report to packages which has "Depends:
libc6-dev". At least on my environment:
> grep-available -F Depends,Recommends,Suggests libc6-dev | grep ^Package: | wc
200 400 4387
It already acquired popularity. I don't know any strong requirement
to get rid of providing libc6-dev. If you don't have any interests to
work for it, I also don't mind to close this report.
