[syslog-ng] Does -d imply -F

According to the admittedly out-of-date man page:
     -d, --debug
          Set "debug mode".  Prints out various messages  to  aid
          in  debugging  and stops it from becoming a daemon.  To
          activate debugging in the yacc parser, either use  this
          option twice or combine with -v.

     -F, --foreground
          Don't fork into background.

Do, does -d imply -F as -d "stops it from becoming a daemon."? Looking
at src/main.c, this does not seem to be the case. do_fork=0 only when
-F is specified.
