Just for debian's info: you definitely want the man-pages page. The
pthreads pages that I have been recently adding to man-pages are far
better than the ancient glibc pages.

It would be nice if I could be informed when a new glibc-doc package
is available so I can re-enable these pages in manpages-dev.
Thanks,
Joey
