So this is all configurable, as explained above.  There has also been no
further update within 1 year, so I'm closing this bug report now.

If this conclusion is incorrect and this is still an issue, please reply
to this email (use "Reply to all" in your email client) and we can
reopen the bug report.

Best regards,
