I think the point the original was trying to make was emphasizing that
when the variable is set at all, then we operate in this new mode.

Maybe that's sufficiently conveyed in the first sentence, but perhaps
another way of expanding would be:

  If the variable is unset, it has no effect, and the normal
  configuration is respected.

But perhaps that is obvious enough from the previous sentence. Since I
was involved in drafting the original, I'm not sure I'm a good judge of
what is obvious and what is not. :)
