libpthread-dev should depend on libc6-dev

[Ruben Garcia]

Binary package hint: libpthread-dev

libpthread-dev does not depend on libc6-dev.

However, trying to compile a test program

$ cat a.c
#include <pthread.h>

int main (void) {
}
$

we get:

En el fichero incluído de a.c:1:
/usr/include/pthread.h:111:53: error: sys/types.h: No existe el fichero ó directorio
-------(20 more lines of this sort)

Clearly, if pthread.h is including header files from libc6-dev, it should depend on (or at least suggest) libc6-dev

This is for Ubuntu Feisty Fawn.

libpthread-dev version 2.0.7-4build1
libc6-dev version 2.5-0ubuntu14

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta?
