Or:
  c) create a script that auto-replaces the Depends-on: section of
     the module/libposix file?

Thus, it has the advantage of gnulib-tool magic and it avoids
the maintenance hassle.  The bootstrap script *could* just run it.
For that matter, we have a "d":

  d) libposix gets added to modules/.gitignore and libposix/bootstrap
     generates it before invoking gnulib-tool ?  :-D

How's "d"?
