On the Debian package I generally patch source files and XML SPECs to
set / reset the "defaltenable" options. 

The problem with patching the output of menuselect is that menuselect is
run on each tim you un 'make'. This is why I never bothered adding such
an option to dummy-select. 

OTOH, in dummy-select the configuration is straight-forward:

  echo enable codec_ilbc >build_tools/conf

Menuselect uses the same file as both an input and an output, and this
makes it very confusing and error-prone.
