dependency bug in gconfig?

Hi,

(2.6.13-rc2 or later)

This appears to be a dependency bug in gconfig to me.

If I enable NETCONSOLE to y, NETPOLL becomes y.  (OK)
If I then disable NETCONSOLE to n, NETPOLL remains y.

If I enable NETCONSOLE to m, NETPOLL remains n.  Why is that?

config NETPOLL
	def_bool NETCONSOLE

Should this cause NETCONSOLE to track NETPOLL?



xconfig and menuconfig have much stricter tracking of
NETCONSOLE -> NETPOLL.  E.g.,
enabling NETCONSOLE=m or y in xconfig also enables NETPOLL=y
and disabling NETCONSOLE also disables NETPOLL.
