Are quirks officially counted as disadvantages?

Or perhaps Dungeon Fantasy simply has its own rules regarding disad limits, departing from the suggestions made in the Basic Set, as both GM's and Campaign books are allowed to do. After all, DF characters are limited to -50 points in disads, instead of the -125 points they would be allowed under the suggestions the Basic Set. That the -5 points in quirks are allowed in addition to the -50 points in disads is just another point of departure from the normal suggestions laid out in the Basic Set.
