It gets built, as long as at least one other USB networking driver has
been selected.

Most people (distributions, developers, maintainers) select all
drivers or some large subset thereof, so would never actually run into
this problem.

You'd have to specifically have a configuration that enabled r8152 and
no other USB networking driver, in order to trigger this.

Anyways, I'll apply this, thanks.
