This is pretty common in Buildroot that we have automatic optional
dependencies: we enable a feature if the necessary dependencies are
available. Having sub-options for everything would be a nightmare.
In addition, if a user had to build the selftests manually, he would
also have to figure out "aaah, I need numactl to build the network
tests".
In any case, the Buildroot .mk clearly documents the fact that package
ABC is needed to get a given feature in package XYZ.
Best regards,
Thomas
