Possible problem with openssl / hostapd / wpad

since (maybe a month) - i've noticed some inconsistencies in the the hierarchical relationships for wpad variants in mbedtls and openssl subfamilies that have been curoius. see the image below from my local build environment.

shouldn't the nesting of wpad / basic/ mesh / {full]
be congruent between the mbedtls and openssl families?

today, i saw a possibly-related problem with an error in the online imagebuilder :

Building package index...

im not sure where this should be posted, and i understand there is a lot of work migrating from opkg to apk.
please respond or re-direct as appropriate. thanks
