I have a generic question about host packages, not strictly related to the
addition of the "Host tools" menu that's being discussed here.

I see many of the packages that have both target and host variant have
their host dependencies equal to their target package dependencies, plus a
"host-" prefix added to packages that don't have one on their own.

For example:
 > LIBUSB_COMPAT_DEPENDENCIES = host-pkg-config libusb
 > HOST_LIBUSB_COMPAT_DEPENDENCIES = host-pkg-config host-libusb

host-pkg-config does not change, libusb becomes host-libusb.

This is indeed pretty natural.

Would it be a good idea to define by default HOST_FOO_DEPENDENCIES
equal to FOO_DEPENDENCIES with suitable subst magic to add "host-" where
it is not present?

This could of course be done later, separated from this work.
