Dear Maintainer,
The Linux man-pages project has recently added the pthread_*(3) manual
pages that were provided by glibc-doc. The first upstream version of
the Linux man-pages that includes these pages is man-pages-6.06. Here's
what was added:
$ git diff --stat b06cd070f..128a3ae35
man3/pthread_cond_init.3 | 264 ++++++++++++++++++++
man3/pthread_condattr_init.3 | 48 ++++
man3/pthread_key_create.3 | 178 +++++++++++++
man3/pthread_mutex_init.3 | 241 ++++++++++++++++++

Debian's manpages-dev_6.7-1_all.deb has been the first package since
that happened, and I've noticed that dpkg(1) (via apt-get(8)) refuses to
upgrade manpages-dev due to a conflict with glibc-doc.
$ sudo apt-get upgrade -V;

Please, remove from glibc-doc those manual pages that conflict with
manpages-dev.
Marcos, you'll also need to specify a breaks with glibc-doc versions
up to (and including) 6.38-6 in the next revision of manpages-dev, and
drop 6.7-1.
Have a lovely day!
Alex
