No. When important features like HAL or SASL are disabled by default, various apps in the package are rendered useless. Any app needing authentication with SASL, for example, which includes the staple app of KMail, is no longer functional. Likewise with HAL.
Before building something, packager should be aware about all features are available for package. I do not want to dictate which feature are "important" and which is not.
I disagree with disabling everything. We as the upstream providers need to test everything. The downstream packagers decide what to disable for their distros or personal usage.

I disabled every feature intentional, because I think this behavious is very consistent, and packager will don't need to guess which features are OFF and which are ON.
