Also in general we don't have sub-options for things that depend on
packages: the package automatically enables the feature if the required
dependency is available.

I have the same problem with the VLC package currently being proposed
by Ismael: it has a huge number of sub-options, for each potential
dependency that the package might use.

On one hand having all these sub-options is a bit annoying, but:

 (*) It allows to have sub-options for things that depend on other
     libraries, but also for things that don't have dependencies.
     Otherwise, it's a bit strange: for --enable/--disable flags that
     don't require dependencies, we have a kconfig option, but for
     --enable/--disable flags that require dependencies, they get
     automatically enabled when the required dependency is available.

 (*) You may want to have SSL support in one component of your system,
     but not necessarily others.

Thoughts?
