Right, I agree it's a bit inconsistent. A better way would probably
be to turn all of the 'select' statements into 'depends on' here, or
possibly just remove them and document in the help text what others
are required.

Generally using 'select' in order to save users from thinking causes
more problems than it helps, as the build problems in this driver
have already illustrated.
