I don't like too much having packages that interfere with the kernel configuration, because it's a nightmare: when iptables is compiled, we would need to ensure that kernel support is available, same for xfsprogs, for v4l-utils, for input-tools, etc ? Our policy has been that the user needs to be aware of what (s)he is doing, especially when it comes to making sure that the kernel configuration appropriately matches the requirement of userspace applications and libraries.
