I also considered this and agree this is better.
Otherwise we end up with a spaghetti of dependencies across the tree.
What I made just fit the purpose I had that day,
which is no excuse for bad design.

Even better - good.
We call it HDRTEST - so why not just go for that name:
hdrtest-y += headerfile.h
??
The current proposal with "header-test-y" hurts the eye a little with
two '-', and all other variables uses only one '-' as is today.
(generic-y, obj-y etc).
This is bikeshedding but is was itcing me a little.
