"no new tarball release" ?

I disagree with the select here. See below.

This should be a:

	depends on BR2_PACKAGE_EFL

in my opinion. EFL is one of these "big" stuff (like Qt, Python, Gtk)
for which people clearly know what they are doing. Nobody will want to
enable "expedite" without knowing that it relies on the EFL. For
example, gtkperf (which is also a benchmarking program, but for Gtk)
does a "depends on BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGTK2".

And if you do a "depends on" rather than a "select", then you...

don't have to add those lines.

... and to change the comment here.
