Hi there!

Please make glibc-doc Suggests: or Recommends: manpages-dev, as
manpages-dev contains many of the library-call documentation manpages
one would naïvely expect in glibc-doc.

thank you,
	Uli

"installing build-essential" is debian developer's knowledge.
Considering from the derivation of your idea is "build essential", I
think adding Suggests: manpages-dev may be excess for most users.  So
I decided close this bug.  However, if you think there're another
reasons, let me know and reopen this report.  I'll rethink this
report.

I think one idea to fix this problem is to create build-essential-doc
which installs manpages and doc pages of gcc, libc, make, and so on.
But it may also be over-preparation.
