I tested it on few packages, it is backwards compatible because it
checks for the existence of a .install file too, BUT if you simply
concatenate the PKGBUILD and the .install, then it could not work because
of shared variables between the .install functions and others particular
operation on the .install file made by the build function (as Travis and
VMiklos pointed out).

The variables like KERNEL_VERSION should be added in all
{post,pre}_{install,upgrade,remove} function and I admit this is
not the best way and not even very intuitive, but I can't see any
non-hackish way to handle it.
