No, it doesn't call it anything different, or incompatible.

Breezy uses libc6 2.3.5, which I believe is what sid uses these days.
Although sid may still be on 2.3.2, which is what Hoary is using.  In
any case, the versions of libc6 in Ubuntu and Debian are very, very
close together.

If sid has 2.3.5 (which I think it does), and Hoary 2.3.2 (which it
definitely does), it does mean that you can't mix and match sid and
hoary packages, because things have changed too majorly.  You can
recompile them if you want, but there's not much we can do about the
binary package situation.  C'est la vie.
