 Hah, that's a tricky part.  If a package can make use of some library
but it doesn't really depend on it, then we add something like this to
the .mk file:

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_ZLIB),y)
FBTERM_DEPENDENCIES += zlib
endif

or in one line:

FBTERM_DEPENDENCIES += $(if $(BR2_PACKAGE_ZLIB),zlib)


 Similarly for expat.

 Leave it as it is, but remember for your next package that the help text
doesn't have to be so long.
