Bug Description
The gcc-3.3 package provides libstdc++5, required by some 3rd party binary-only proprietary software. It was removed from Debian and Ubuntu when packages no longer depended on it, but that broke 3rd party software. (LP: #431091 et al.)
Recently, a new gcc-3.3 package has been accepted into Debian and Ubuntu to provide support for such software: libstdc++5.
Please backport it for Karmic and Lucid users.
It builds fine without modification. It failed to build from source on powerpc for Maverick, but I doubt many users need this on powerpc https:/

Stefano, can you please give some examples of these proprietary binaries for us to test?
