Indeed. For big dependencies like dbus (or openssl), then I would
prefer BR to just do the right thing (tm) instead of adding very
detailed configuration options for things that only increase the size
with a few %.
In the case of dbus, the minimal configuration (including
dependencies) is around ~1MB, so I don't think it's worthwhile
discussing about 24kb overhead.
