No, I don't have any /doubts/, I believe the change to enable at compile
time is simply not acceptable at all to upstream and should not be
forwarded at this time.  (This based on discussion with Jerry @ UDS, in
which he stated it was upstream's policy to not enable additional features
by default but that it was fine for distros to make such changes.)

So since the only forwardable bit of the patch is a few minor grammar fixes
in the manpages, I don't see any point in splitting this into multiple
patches as that won't make it any easier to manage in the repo.

None of that should prevent someone from forwarding the grammar fixes
upstream, but I think a general grammar review of the manpages would be more
useful than sending tiny typo fixes one at a time.
