libcrypt1 1:4.4.10-5 packaging error?

Tried to install the latest libc6.1 this evening, and ran into an issue
with the "libcrypt1" installation.  Specifically, "perl" is looking for
"libcrypt.so.1.1", and after the new "libcrypt1" package gets
installed, the following library and symlinks exist under
"/usr/lib/alpha-linux-gnu":

libcrypt.so -> libcrypt.so.1.1.0
libcrypt.so.1 -> libcrypt.so.1.1.0
libcrypt.so.1.1.0

Without a "libcrypt.so.1.1" symlink, the new "libc6.1" package and
its dependencies cannot be configured.  Adding the symlink and then
running "dpkg --configure -a" takes care of the problem.
