Dear Maintainer,

rasdaemon(8) says
  CONFIG FILE
         The rasdaemon program supports a config file to set rasdaemon systemd service environment variables. By default the config file is read from /etc/sysconfig/ras‐
         daemon.

         The general format is environmentname=value.
the weirdness of that aside, /etc/sysconfig/rasdaemon doesn't exist.
/etc/default/rasdaemon does, however, and says:
  # Page Isolation
  # Note: Run-time configuration is unsupported, service restart needed.
  # Note: this file should be installed at /etc/sysconfig/rasdaemon

  # Specify the threshold of isolating buggy pages.
  #
  # Format:
  #   [0-9]+[unit]
  # Notice: please make sure match this format, rasdaemon will use default value for exception input cases.
  #
  # Supported units:
  # PAGE_CE_REFRESH_CYCLE: D|d (day), H|h (hour), M|m (min), default is in hour
  # PAGE_CE_THRESHOLD: K|k (x1000), M|m (x1000k), default is none
  #
  # The two configs will only take no effect when PAGE_CE_ACTION is "off".
  PAGE_CE_REFRESH_CYCLE="24h"
  PAGE_CE_THRESHOLD="50"

  # Specify the internal action in rasdaemon to exceeding a page error threshold.
  #
  # off      no action
  # account  only account errors
  # soft     try to soft-offline page without killing any processes
  #          This requires an uptodate kernel. Might not be successfull.
  # hard     try to hard-offline page by killing processes
  #          Requires an uptodate kernel. Might not be successfull.
  # soft-then-hard   First try to soft offline, then try hard offlining.
  # Note: default offline choice is "soft".
  PAGE_CE_ACTION="soft"

Again, it shouldn't on Debian because the service says
  $ systemctl cat rasdaemon.service
  # /lib/systemd/system/rasdaemon.service
  [Unit]
  Description=RAS daemon to log the RAS events
  # only needed when not running in foreground (--foreground | -f)
  #After=syslog.target

  [Service]
  EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/rasdaemon
  ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rasdaemon -f -r
  ExecStartPost=/usr/sbin/rasdaemon --enable
  ExecStop=/usr/sbin/rasdaemon --disable
  Restart=on-abort

  [Install]
  WantedBy=multi-user.target

To that end, I'm attaching three patches (also at Salsa as
https://salsa.debian.org/tai271828/rasdaemon-sandbox-01/-/merge_requests/1):
  * fixing /etc/default/rasdaemon
  * fixing rasdaemon(8) by replacing that whole section with
      .SH FILES
      .B /etc/default/rasdaemon
  * fixing rasdaemon(8) and ras-mc-ctl(8) by removing the empty line
    from before .TH, which removes the empty line before the heading
