For the record, this appears to be the case:

$ dpkg-reconfigure libc6

logs in /var/log/syslog:

Jun 13 10:11:21 DebianUnstable init: Trying to re-exec init
Jun 13 10:11:23 DebianUnstable init: Trying to re-exec init

I suppose it isn't a show-stopper, but it is ugly. Do you see a way to avoid it?

Best wishes
