+1 for your patch because it will be easier to have own kernel packages with

Here i must give a -1 because first the only one who need to understand what
happens is the kernel maintainer and second i must say instead i'm not a dev
the PKGBUILD of the kernel26 package is from my view understandable enough.

I think there is even room to write some things in another way because you can
use this

pkgname=kernel26-eee
_kernelname=${pkgname:8}

or this

_modname=eee
pkgname=kernel26-${_modname}

which is what i use in my own kernel package (in the lines later is use
${_modname} nearly in the same way as you). But before you missunderstood me
i'm more joking than starting a serious discussion about that there be such
different ways to do nearly the same.-)

See you, Attila
