Well, I would find it a bit over-blown to have many sub-dirs with a
single file (the .mk) in each.

Unless you also expected that the big Config.in file be split too?

I would argue against, because its fate is already a bit special: it is
not sourced from package/Config.in but from linux/Config.in. and I would
prefer we avoid a bit more complexity...
