Confirmed to be present in man-pages-5.13, and IMO sufficiently explained, hence this bug could be closed accordingly once that version gets packaged.

Bug#992377: manpages-dev
tags 992377 fixed-upstream thanks Upstream maintainer here. The keyutils pages in Section 2 are an unusual case. The wrapper functions are provided in the libkeyutils library (instead of, as is conventional, the C library), as noted in the add_key(2) page. The package that provides that library also provides the header file. The manual page implies that, but doesn't make it completely clear. I've added a sentence to the manual page to make this more explicit: Glibc does not provide a wrapper for this system call. A wrapper is provided in the libkeyutils library. **(The accompanying package provides the header file.)** When employing the wrap‐ per in that library, link with -lkeyutils. Of course, the name of the relevant package depends on the distro. For Debian, I believe it is "libkeyutils-dev". (I run Fedora, where the package is the somewhat unconventionally named "keyutils-libs-devel".) Thanks, Michael
