This might be a bit more complicated than this.
The issue is that the conf is available in other places, as long as it comes from profiles files.
It is the usage of conf coming from tool_requires that is expected to be limited, because those tool_requires might not be necessarily available (skipped), and their package_info() won't even execute.
