I don't have a strong preference between the version in glibc and the version in manpages; here's what I can think of:
+ glibc-doc only ships the pthread manpages while manpages-dev ships all system programming manpages
+ Debian did this change
- some pthread man pages will still be shipped in glibc-doc since manpages only added a couple
= pthread implementation is actually in glibc, so the man pages should be more up-to-date, however manpages also cover e.g. linux syscalls which are not shipped by linux

glibc-doc conflicts with manpages-dev for some weeks now, so I think we should just proceed to merge the Debian change, which is what I've prepared for upload
