Fixed in eglibc 2.15-0ubuntu3. Changelog:

eglibc (2.15-0ubuntu3) precise; urgency=low

  [ Matthias Klose ]
  * debian/debhelper.in/libc.postinst: Call notify-reboot-required for
    updates to 2.15.
  * Expect same test failures on armhf as on armel.
  * Only restart gdm if it is running. LP: #931745.
  * Don't include the non-default multilib debug files in the libc6-dbg
    package on ARM. Install the multiarch package instead.

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * Synchronize the kernel version checks in
    debian/debhelper.in/libc6.preinst with the values actually set in
    debian/sysdeps/linux.mk.
