I'm pretty sure Debian 10 does not use glibc 2.28. My point is that the glibc change will get backported, but any man-pages change will not, so it will be quite some time until the latter shows up on developer workstations. And due to glibc backporting, the version information there will be misleading. Thanks, Florian
