I actually think that's still the case as we don't source the
Config.in files of the stuff in the sub menus if the menu isn't
enabled.

I agree. I'll change the sub menus to use menu / endmenu instead of
menuconfig. This does mean that you no longer can deselect all
packages in a submenu simply by deselecting the menu, but as all
packages default to n that shouldn't be a big deal.
