Nope! All you would need is edit-utils installed, because the
defcustoms are auto-loaded in the auto-autoloads file. This patch
sets the bindings without loading ibuffer.
Me no like. Switching bindings around just because a particular
package file exists is not something I'd want (although it's fairly
harmless here). Would it not be better to just move ibuffer.el into
core lisp and remove the other implementation? I dislike having
multiple implementations of the same thing.
