Well, it's not so much about "detecting": it's about
"<pkg>-reconfigure" having the semantic of "I'm doing the entire
configure step again".

Again, I am not sure at all it is worth trying to cover my use case.

On one side, <pkg>-reconfigure should "reconfigure" the package. But on
the other hand, Buildroot does not guarantee at all that changes done
in menuconfig are taken into account without re-doing a full "make
clean".
