That doesn't make sense. More precisely, it's your commit
a88dceb951de977ad2d896d697f87d98e9705280 that doesn't make sense.
You're adding a "depends on BR2_PACKAGE_QT_ARCH_SUPPORTS_WEBKIT" to
grantlee because grantlee has "select BR2_PACKAGE_QT_SCRIPT".

The reason why your commit doesn't make sense appears clearly now: the
set of architectures that have support for QtScript and QtWebkit is not
the same. So, if QtScript is restricted to certain architectures,
please introduce a BR2_PACKAGE_QT_ARCH_SUPPORTS_SCRIPT separate from
BR2_PACKAGE_QT_ARCH_SUPPORTS_WEBKIT, and use them appropriately.
