 The manual pages are actually generated from the upstream POD
 documentation (openssl/doc/crypto/d2i_RSAPublicKey.pod) so the changes
 need to be made to the POD files.  Otherwise they will simply vanish
 after next import.
 
 Any chance you could submit the changes directly to the OpenSSL
 project [1]?  Then we would get the fixes when the next version of
 OpenSSL is imported.
 
 Does the source changes fix actual bugs or is it just style/warning?
 If they don't fix real bugs I would prefer for them also to go via
 OpenSSL to not divert from upstream more than needed.
