Why ? If it's merely used as a build dependency of another package, I don't see why we should have a menuconfig entry for it. Indeed, having a host-python-ninja2 package with no users in-tree is weird, but I don't think cluttering the "Host utilities" menu with such packages is the appropriate solution here.
