This does not exist upstream.  The formatted version of the upstream
man page looks like

```
     df [-hi] [path]
             Display usage information for the 
```

The same applies to the following three items.

No.

This text does not exist in OpenSSH's man page:

```
     There are two main ways to get an agent set up.  The first is at
the
     start of an X session, where all other windows or programs are
started as
     children of the ssh-agent program.  The agent starts a command
under
     which its environment variables are exported, for example
ssh-agent xterm
     &.  When the command terminates, so does the agent.
```

This text also does not exist in the upstream text and looks like a
Debian modification.

err, OK.  So?

Definitely no.

No.  Safe primes are a specific concept:

Yes.

the capitalization?  probably yes.

Yes.
