It oughtn't really to matter.  Generally, if a package depends on having
been configured before its initscript runs, that means it will also fail
to work in the case where it's subsequently installed (or upgraded) on a
running system.  (Obviously that's a nonissue for distros that don't use
O_P_M but it would still be nice to get it right in the metadata.)

Also, packages which depend on having "opkg configure" run on the target
before they will work are a bit of a pain for folks with readonly
rootfses.  In some cases that's just unavoidable but I would have
sort-of hoped that a base package like netbase would manage this a bit
better.
