That would seem be a tools problem.

Nevertheless, if I merge it with 'select', won't it break while the core
LZO patches aren't yet upstream?

Of course, one could argue that that's also a tools problem. All this
proliferation of 'select' is doing is moving problems around rather than
solving them.
