the OpenWrt developers have renamed the package dependency. Unless you are using the OpenWrt trunk after revision 28656 the package dependency selection won't work anymore.
Maybe you should ask them about their concept of backward compatibility.
I have to roll back here. You are using backfire while grabbing the packages from trunk. You are not supposed to do that. There is a specific backfire branch maintained by the OpenWrt developers which is kept compatible (I wasn't aware of that).
If you mix backfire and trunk you have to deal with the consequences yourself.
