Public bug reported:
The libedit support needs to be enabled by default. Even though dash is
the default sh on Ubuntu and is mainly used to run POSIX shell scripts,
it's also a good interactive shell for testing scripts and prototype
code. Enabling history will make life much easier.
Otherwise, the "Command Line Editing" section and the "fc" command
should be removed from the man page as it's currently misleading.
