Dear Fran?ois Perrad,

Well, I don't really think --depth is meant to avoid infinite
recursion: I don't think it's possible to have infinite recursion since
we can't have cyclic dependencies in Buildroot.

I believe being able to exclude certain packages (and their dependency
tree) would be useful.

Best regards,
