I have several cases in meta-fsl-demos. Vivante GPU driver provides
different libraries depending on the backend to use (DirectFB, FB,
Wayland and X11) and they cannot be used at same time. So depending on
distro features setting some images are buildable or not.

In fact I see same case in OE-Core; core-image-weston /depends/ on
wayland distro feature and this is not explicit in metadata nowadays.
