Why should it? The flavour is simply the choice of a config file (not
100% true, but let's keep it simple), that's why it is called a
flavour after all. Overloading it with further information is wrong,
especially when the sole purpose is only to support the kmod hack.

Any custom kernel package out there is either not changing the name or
is suffixing the main name with suspend2/desktop etc. Noone wants to
start hacking new flavours.
