I know that putting it in /etc/mergemaster.rc works, I wrote that I
don't want to go this road because it's error prone - I forgot once to
remove it from mergemaster.rc and ended with unbootable system during
next update of the host. Switching this from commandline would be great,
and it was working until 9.2-RELEASE.
