I don't know of any. Under the NPTL sysroot, you should see this:

$ /lib/libc.so.6
...
Available extensions:
...
	Native POSIX Threads Library by Ulrich Drepper et al

You might want to remove the linux-2.6_2.6.32-23 kernel headers already in 
the sysroot first. (They are courtesy of make headers_install and worked 
fine for my purposes but I don't know how they differ from the 
linux-headers deb.)

Or you could just use the existing headers instead of the linux-headers 
deb until you get the eglibc packages built, at which point you can ditch 
the sysroot and debootstrap.
