that's wrong. the official documentation for Glibc are the info documents in the glibc-doc package. manpages-dev is a third-party package that wasn't written purposely for Glibc and is plenty of API incompatibilities with the Glibc implementation. in some cases, manpages-dev does even introduce programming bugs [1] for its unawareness of Glibc specification.
