 The "problem" with contributed man pages (from other projects, in this
 case OpenBSD's CARP) is that we don't fix them in our tree, as this
 would result in merge conflict when importing the next version their
 tree into ours.
 
 Hence, it is better to contact the vendor and see whether the
 corrections can be done in their tree first and when that is done,
 contact our maintainer for that piece of software to import these fixes.
 
 However, as we are currently a few versions behind the vendor version,
 the man page has changed significantly as far as your patch is
 concerned. You might want to check their current version and see whether
 your fixes still apply:
