I am trying to get rid of the problem, that packages
"disappear" when the "depends on" are invalid.

There are also a lot of broken packages, and you 
decide that you do not want a certain package, 
since it is broken, then it takes a long time to find out what is causing 
package to be built 

This approach gives you better finetuning capabilities.

Note that once you have done your configuration, you can:

$ make saveconfig
and your project file will be saved.

If you make the "local" directory a symbolic link
to a project directory, then you can download
a new trunk, and do

make BOARD=<yourboard> getconfig

and you have all your settings back.
