It seems, like package maintainers leave all their job to end user. I don't know
many packages, which are as configurable as software package itself. To solve
few alternatives or versioning -- is kind of easy job: package is
built statically.
Otherwise they just pull all-new stuff anyway.

As of kernel config, there must be a simple and flexible tool to help
constructing
correct CONFIG_* sets as for developers to develop as for users to use.

Current situation is when "real guru edits with `cat >source.c`" is not funny.
