I'm sorry, but no. We are not going to add gazillions of options to
each and every package to be able to configure the zillions of possible
knobs that can be configured. We are not going to add options to create
virtual hosts in Apache or Lighttpd, we are not going to add options to
enable/disable each and every cipher in OpenSSH, etc.

The point of Buildroot is to provide a reasonable default mender.conf,
and let user override it with their own configuration file as part of a
root filesystem overlay.

Best regards,

Thomas
