OK.  Still not clear to me whether the problem is the code, the docs, or
my brain.  I guess I could always look at the code... ;-)

I'd vote for that!  I know nothing about Debian policy, but I personally
don't have a problem with enabling features on Debian builds that aren't
necessarily enabled in other distributions, even if it means I can't
take my config files from a Debian box to (say) a Red Hat box.
