New option can be added to "select" clause:

config CONFIG_DESKTOP
        bool "Enable options for full-blown desktop systems."
        default n
        select CONFIG_FEATURE_GZIP_V  <--------------------------
        help
          Enable options and features which are not essential.
          Select this only if you plan to use busybox on full-blown
          desktop machine with common Linux distro, not on an ebmbedded box.

so it is automatically turned on by CONFIG_DESKTOP
