Sorry, I probably don't have the time to do so. Please remember that I
don't have the sources (I can for sure obtain them). I just saw a
massiv change and wondered why this one was left out.

So if you think it is fine, then of course you are the expert, we are
just translators. I just pointed this out so you can contact the
approriate experts (if necessary) and review this, if necessary. If
not, then no problem.

Sorry, I don't know the inner workings of manpages and how and where
patches are stored. 

Remember, manpages-l10n has over 100 upstream projects (although manpages is
probably the largest), so we (or actually me at the moment) are unable
to get into the inner workings of each project but leave it to you as
the maintainer to handle this as you see fit. We just don't want to be
silently fixing issues in translations without the original authors are beeing
made aware of this.

Thanks for your understanding.

Greetings

        Helge
