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
