Ok, so as I had suspected, there is no way to change the dump parameters
through a config-file option, one has to alter the source of
sendbackup-dump.c to add L as a commandline parameter to dump.
...
dumpkeys = vstralloc(level_str,
options->no_record ? "" : "u",
+"b",
+"L",
...
Thanks for the confirmation!
