This dependency must not be removed for at least the next six months. It
will be needed for direct upgrades from Hardy to Lucid (which will be
supported since Lucid will be an LTS release).

Since findutils is Essential, it really doesn't matter much. We would
not have added a less critical package to libc6's dependencies - we'd
have addressed it some other way. Essential packages tend to require
special handling.
