I think it would be sufficient to come up with a new binary metapackage
called "c-developer-tools" that pulled in these packages: "autoconf,
manpages-dev, doxygen, yasm, ccache, distcc, build-essential".
That should pull in a sufficient amount of documentation and tools to
help an aspiring developer get started.

Title:
[needs-packaging] Replacement for build-essential with more manpages
and helper packages
Status in “build-essential” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
It would be nice to have a package that developers could install that
installed all the essential building packages as well as manpages and
helper packages not explicitly needed by the build daemons
---original report---
build-essential does not include complete manpages for its libraries
Binary package hint: build-essential
Ubuntu version: 9.04
Package version: build-essential 11.4
What I expected to happen: development manpages to be included when i installed build tools
What happened instead: they weren't
Development manpages are generally fractured between a few packages
(namely manpages-dev, glibc-doc and manpages-posix, there may be
others). build-essential should suggest these packages for
installation.
