they essentially are. all the options are listed in the manual with the
names as they appear in the customization buffer. these names are directly
derived from the actual variable names by removing the prefix `ebib-`,
replacing the hyphens with spaces and capitalizing each word. so you can
easily convert the option name back to the variable: e.g., the option
"Autogenerate Keys" has the variable name `ebib-autogenerate-keys`, etc.

best,
