I agree something like this is necessary.
I've made a simple attempt at this with the wn package I maintain. I
took the kernel configuration scripts and modified them. It can
analyze the current state of the package, or provide a standard state.
I'm not sure if the kernel scripts are the best way to go. There are
other configuration projects going on in the Linux world such as
Figurine and the dot generator.
