 Well, Thomas disagrees, so I guess you shouldn't.

 Anyway, if it does become a Linux extension, the package will stay. One of the
Kconfig options (the package or the linux extension) will be a blind option, and
at that time we can still choose which one will be blind.

 If you use kconfig-package you should never get these messages because it
already has that check, on line 70-74:

# FOO_KCONFIG_FILE is required
ifndef $(2)_KCONFIG_FILE
$$(error Internal error: no value specified for $(2)_KCONFIG_FILE)
endif


 Oh, now I see that Yann's patch to convert this to ifeq hasn't been applied
yet... So yes in that case the custom check should stay.

 Arnout
