Aaah, I now understand better what you were mentioning on IRC. Sorry
for not understanding earlier. I did understand that the name of the
package was "pyparsing", i.e that it was located in package/pyparsing/.
But indeed, it is located in package/python-pyparsing/, so the package
name is 'python-pyparsing'. The only thing that doesn't match is the
Config.in option prompt, and this is not nice.

So clearly, I'm all for changing the Config.in option name, i.e:

-	bool "pyparsing"
+	bool "python-pyparsing"

Thanks, and sorry again for the misunderstanding,

Thomas
