| Huh, so IDE scsi emulation doesn't?  (Not that I use it.  I want SCSI _off_.)

No, ide-scsi, IEEE1394 SBP2, etc., just do this:
  depends on SCSI [&& others in some cases]

while USB_STORAGE turns SCSI on if it's selected:
  select SCSI

Go for it.  Although others should be able to reproduce it...
