I won't flag this bug as RC, since AFAICS it only affects upgrades from older versions of unstable/testing since libpthread2 has never been in stable.
But that means either libpthread2 should be removed from etch (and possibly unstable), or the heuristic improved.
Conflicting with libpthread2 (and it seems libpthread20) means a new upload, so I prefer to fix the heuristic instead then.
The current setup prevents upgrades of the glibc (that can happen even in stable, for example security updates).
