I'm not aware of such a feature in BitBake. As for your situation I'd
suggest creating a secondary recipe (e.g. "busybox-flasher") in your own
layer which includes the original busybox recipe and adapts its feature
set with a configuration fragment.

Example: busybox-flasher_1.24.1.bb

    require recipes-core/busybox/busybox_${PV}.bb
    SRC_URI += "file://flasher-options.cfg"

That way you can easily distinguish busybox and busybox-flasher in your
images and you can minimize the redundancies between the recipes.

Hope it helps!

Best regards,
