Would you mind replacing also the first sentence by something which
indicates whether this option alone already changes the kernel build?
Look at the help texts of other menuconfig option items. Random pick:
NETDEV_1000:

This option alone does not add any kernel code.
[...]
If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and
disabled.
