As far as I can tell, the reference documentation does not write that
anywhere what you are claiming here. So you are either incorrect, or I need
to file a bugreport to fix the documentation.

No doubt a common "normal" could be found for Arch as well, which is what I
have been referring to, in several emails of this thread now. I do not see
Arch exclusive, respectively.
