I just used it as a mark for when/if removing it, since they all depend on BR2_PACKAGE_CUPS being selected, not needed really. Ideally something like BR2_LEGACY would be best for the users to get a big warning, problem is that introducing it for just one package isn't very useful, and it would set a precedent for other packages to lag behind as well.
