In theory, yes. In practice, since you need BR2_PACKAGE_DTC at build
time, it means that you will have "dtc" in the <pkg>_DEPENDENCIES
variable of your package, which means that the dtc package (both the
library and programs) will be built before your package. So practically
speaking, BR2_PACKAGE_DTC_PROGRAMS will not really be treated as a
run-time dependency only, because it's not provided by a separate
package than dtc.
