Is there a way to add "provides" to a package? In RPM, I would solve this
adding "Provides: ip" to busybox.

This could also help when a kern module gets built-in. Kernel package could
provide the incorporated kmod-xxx module. It would be better if both kernel
and kmod-xxx could automatically provide every single module it provides,
so packages could requires modules and not their packages, whether it is
built-in or loadable module.

Just like the case of busybox, if someone changes a module to not be
built-in (a configuration), it will require a code (makefile) change in
order to fix broken deps.
