Yes. That is the intent of the report, to get the non-existent option removed.

In edebug mode, type '?' to list help for the mode.  
This will list the keys defined for the mode followed by a list of the options.The options are listed as help-mode links.  The links can be used to displayhelp for each of the options, including their current value.  This provides aquick method for looking up help or checking the values of the (many) edebugoptions.
