What is the use case for this?

Again, you're implementing something completely specific for the linux
package while the logic itself has nothing specific to the Linux
kernel. So if we ever want something like this, we want to implement it
at the package infrastructure level, and clearly not in some random
specific package.

I'm sorry to reject some of your patches this way, but as Buildroot
developers, we have to maintain a good coherency and consistency in the
implementation of the package recipes and the package infrastructure.
And this consistency means that we don't want to implement specific
things in packages that should in fact be implemented at the package
infrastructure level.

Best regards,

Thomas
