In that case, I believe you want manpages-dev. Note, however that
apt-cache show manpages-dev says

Description: Linux-development man pages.
These man pages describe the Linux programming interface, including
these two sections:
* 2 = Linux system calls.
* 3 = Libc calls (note that a more comprehensive source of information
may be found in the glibc-doc package).

So in fact they also point you to glibc-dev. But perhaps you like the
convenience of man pages?
