Ha, ok. I missed it ;-)

IIUC, the swupdate-menuconfig will not display some options if corresponding
dependencies are not meet. This is great!

But what do you think about a comment in the swupdate Kconfig ?
Something like (untested):

config DOWNLOAD
	bool "Enable image downloading"
	default n
	depends on HAVE_LIBCURL
	help
	  Enable update from image URL using libcurl. Files are downloaded
	  completely before installation begins.

comment "image downloading needs libcurl"
	depends on !HAVE_LIBCURL
