Yes, it was done like this in the original patch from Matt, and I kept
it as-is, but I also wasn't too sure about it. But since nobody
complained when I posted the patch, I applied it as-is.
I definitely wouldn't oppose to changing this to not use the
<pkg>_NAME variable, as it find this indirection to not be very useful.
