It would be a very curious idea to have a target somethnig_defconfig in
a package makefile...

I think something_defconfig should remain a real target : suppose you
update your buildroot, and you have new entries in the buildroot
configuration menu. « make something_defconfig » uses a old config file 
to build a config file which is adapted to the buildroot you intend to
build.
