I think this case is slightly different as this optional dependency might
be "enabled" by MACHINE config in some BSP layer and BSP layer depending on
meta-oe just to build the kernel (with BSP preferred compression) isn't
great - compared with some DISTRO config enabling some additional
PACKAGECONFIG in some other recipe the DISTRO uses.

At least if Marek agrees to maintain it instead of restoring Denys as
maintainer :).
