That would work form me (and we've had other situations where that would
be useful in the past). `gbp config` (as all other subcommands) depends
on classes from the `gbp` module so we'd need to split out the minimal
subset there too to get a smaller set of dependencies (we do something
similar for the git-buildpackage-rpm to not have `git-buildpackage`
depend on rpm tooling). A simple autopkg test would make sure that we
don't break this on refactors.

Cheers,
