Details - ====Premise:====

I am on OpenWrt 19.07.4 and menuconfig is behaving weirdly in a case.
I was trying to document how to select wpad-mesh-wolfssl and deselect wpad-basic for LibreMesh compilation and found something that looks like a bug in some Config.in file used by menuconfig.
Original bug reported on LibreMesh issues list here:
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-web/issues/125

====Getting there:====

Selecting at the same time wpad-basic and wpad-mesh-wolfssl causes a clash of files installation in the compilation process. For this reason the deselection of wpad-basic has been suggested in LibreMesh compilation instructions.

wpad-mesh-wolfssl can be selected in menuconfig and wpad-basic deselected, until here everything ok.

====Issue:====

Then when closing and opening again menuconfig, wpad-mesh-wolfssl is not visible.

But when wpad-basic (or something else) is selected, wpad-mesh-wolfssl appears and is actually selected (as it should be).

The wpad-mesh-wolfssl package is categorized as being inside wpad-mesh-openssl, which makes no sense.

And all of this happens even if the definitions of wpad-basic, wpad-mesh-openssl and wpad-mesh-wolfssl are substantially identical (extracted from https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/openwrt-19.07/package/network/services/hostapd/Makefile ):

wpad-basic
  [identical part removed]
  VARIANT:=wpad-basic

wpad-mesh-openssl
  [identical part removed]
  DEPENDS+=@PACKAGE_kmod-cfg80211 @(!TARGET_uml||BROKEN)
  PROVIDES+=wpa-supplicant-mesh wpad-mesh
  DEPENDS+=+libopenssl
  VARIANT:=wpad-mesh-openssl

wpad-mesh-wolfssl
  [identical part removed]
  DEPENDS+=@PACKAGE_kmod-cfg80211 @(!TARGET_uml||BROKEN)
  PROVIDES+=wpa-supplicant-mesh wpad-mesh
  DEPENDS+=+libwolfssl
  VARIANT:=wpad-mesh-wolfssl

This looks like a bug in some of the Config.in files used by make menuconfig.
Just to support this, I exchanged the order in which wpad-mesh-openssl and wpad-mesh-wolfssl are defined in `tmp/.config-package.in` and now wpad-mesh-wolfssl and wpad-mesh-openssl are at the same hierarchical level. There's clearly a bug around.

Thanks!
