 XORG7 is a special case, we never select it (and we assume it's obvious that
you need X to be able to use X stuff). But if you look at e.g.
BR2_PACKAGE_SDL2_X11, it selects BR2_PACKAGE_XLIB_LIBX11 and
BR2_PACKAGE_XLIB_LIBXEXT rather than depending on them.

 BR2_PACKAGE_DIRECTFB should indeed be selected instead of depended on. That's
historical accident, because sdl2 was largely copied from sdl, and sdl had this
construct since 2009 when there were no clear rules yet about select/depend.

 Regards,
 Arnout
