Why not, but in that case, we need non ambiguous names. I'm referring
to the recent introduction of several Lua packages: some of them have
fairly common names:

 http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=50d6f2dde4db8c9d042294a09d5e8e120aec9987

Maybe they should be named "lua-XXX" instead ?

Another strategy would be to mimick in the directory layout the
organization of options in the menuconfig.
