Otherwise, substitions are not properly expanded.
For example
- "AC_SUBST(nmrundir, '${runstatedir}'/$PACKAGE, [NetworkManager runtime state directory])"
gives ${runstatedir}/NetworkManager/resolv.conf
- "AC_SUBST(nmrundir, "${runstatedir}/$PACKAGE", [NetworkManager runtime state directory])"
gives ${prefix}/var/run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf
(cherry picked from commit 4de6f603e3)
Downstream might want to choose a different default value for
main.rc-manager setting (and it can does so, by compiling with
explicit resolvconf or netconfig support).
Make the default configurable at build-time and also embed it into
the manual page of "NetworkManager.conf".

This way it's consistently used across all manual page without a need
for XSL templating.
Also, the entities file could in future possibly be used to template the
build-time configurables such as filesystem paths or bug tracker URL.
