Basically you replace
A... depends on B
by
B... serves A
The latter variant is a pain to maintain. Dependencies change over
time, therefore we should note the dependency always at the dependent
option, not at the serving option.
Iterating upwards and downwards the dependency graph is the duty of
"make snafuconfig", not of the maintainers.
Besides, the "serves" form cannot stand in for constructs like
A... depends on (B && C) || D
