There are plenty of recipes in oe-core that have optional features
(enabled via PACKAGECONFIG) that depend on recipes that are not in
core. If you enable them, bitbake will say that the needed recipe is
missing and then you need to figure out which layer to add (typically
something in meta-openembedded tree). This is not that different:
optional feature, disabled by default, and the error will be the same:
missing lzop recipe.
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.
It sounds like enabling the option forces the addition of another layer
to an existing project. I understand the need for that if the
PACKAGECONFIG added so additional package to the image, but in this case
the option just needs an additional tool to create stuff needed for
booting a board

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