The commit message needs improvement since I can't tell what this
means/does.

What was the behaviour in kirkstone and how did it change? Why/when
would I need it?

What is a "hard depends"?

I don't have an opinion on whether should do something like this or not
as yet, mainly as I can't tell what it is doing. Can you explain it
without reference to "behaviour in kirkstone"?

I also have an aversion to "1" as a magic value. Have a look at
bb.utils.to_boolean() for that.

Cheers,

Richard
