Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

In Ubuntu we do not update stable releases with new upstream versions in order to keep stable releases stable, and keepalived in Ubuntu does not currently have an exception on this. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for the policy and rationale.

We can still fix specific issues by backporting their fixes from newer upstream releases, so I'll turn this bug into one to track the specific issue you're facing.

We can have a separate bug to track the update of keepalived in the development release of Ubuntu (currently Wily) to a newer upstream release, but it doesn't sound like that'll help you since your focus is currently on 14.04.
