Bug#553236: libgnatvsn4.3: missing-dependency-on-libc needed by ./usr/lib/libgnatvsn.so.4.3 but the package doesn't depend on the C library package. Normally this indicates that ${shlibs: Depends} was omitted from the Depends line for this package in debian/control.

The library depends on libgnat-4.3 which depends on libc6, so the
dependency on libc6 is there, albeit indirectly.  Is this really a
policy violation?
