I assume that's because it's a new function in glibc 2.25:

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/bzero.3.html

  explicit_bzero() first appeared in glibc 2.25.

So, IMHO, manpages-dev does the right thing by providing this
man page. (There will also be an issue between glibc 2.25 and
libbsd concerning this function.)
