Thanks for the bug report. I installed the attached, which is not quite the same 
as the patches you suggested, but which should address the issues.

Hi,

Please consider this patch to clarify the use of multiple -e and -f
options in grep. I think the current documentation is inconsistent with
grep behaviour and POSIX man page for grep.

This patch is intended to close another long-standing bug reported in
Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/356120

Cheers,

Santiago
