I do not get it neither. ;-)
Could you remove it in a separate patch., in the long term it be nice to
deactivate it like gpu and network independently from the other network
stuff.

Isn't there a away to treat everything as selected if nothing is given
and if something was given just build that particular subsystem.

Hmm, the longer I think about it this also does not sound very nice. I
think your first approach is better, just add the selected subsystems
But a help page should be displayed when nothing was given explaining
what to do.
