Would RRECOMMENDS have the same effect? It works for rootfs 
(busybox-syslog ends up in the root image). But I don't know if ipkg 
cares about recommends.

I'd prefer RRECOMMENDS to RDEPENDS, because if I don't have 
CONFIG_SYSLOGD=y, I can make busybox-syslog be empty so it won't get 
created and nothing will complain.
