It might affect your usage of the libc, but I doubt it this issue " has
a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it
completely unusable to everyone."

linux/sched.h is not part of libc6-dev but of the linux-libc-dev. It
already provides SCHED_DEADLINE. The value will be added to sched.h in
glibc 2.26.

The man pages do not define the *functions*, but the *syscalls*. So far
nobody has submitted patches to add the corresponding functions to the
libc.
