I tried to add mongoose dependency at first but it seems it use an embedded copy
of mongoose and lsqlite3 when CONFIG_MONGOOSE and CONFIG_MONGOOSESQL are set in
the config file.
See the last Arnout's comment (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/401270):
"Doesn't swupdate use an embedded mongoose? I.e., doesn't it link with it?"

Romain
