Given that libraries and modules for programming languages and other applications follow a naming scheme that includes the target application's prefix in the package name (python-foo, aspell-foo, etc.), it would be consistent to do the same with kernel modules, e.g. "linux-foo".

"kmod-foo" makes more sense since it's about kernel modules and not a whole kernel such as "linux-ck".

I agree that "kmod-" is likely a better prefix. "linux-" was just a starting point and I hadn't given it much thought. Regards, Xyne
