"Provides" support is bubbling up my priority list rather quickly. In
the meantime though, there is a much easier fix. Let's just drop all
these redundant versions from the kernel module package names, (ie. we
should have a package named kernel_modules rather than
kernel_moduls-2.4.3-rmk2-np1). The version information will still be
in the package and will still show up in the version section of the
package file name, (where it belongs).

Getting rid of these versions from the names will ease maintenance
considerably.
