Normally the help text should say so.

By reading the help text of the package in 'make menuconfig'
(and optionally visiting the URL):
config BR2_PACKAGE_LITE
bool "LiTE (toolbox engine)"
depends on BR2_PACKAGE_DIRECTFB
help
LiTE stands for LiTE is a Toolbox Engine.
Its role is to facilitate the functions of DirectFB so that a
toolbox could be written on top of DirectFB with less effort.
As such LiTE has abstractions for the underlying graphics and
event systems.
See http://www.directfb.org/wiki/index.php/LiTE:Architecture
Is there anything in the above that isn't clear to you?
