Clearly a necessary improvement, since Makefile does this:

        mkdir -p $(NV)

and NV is defined (in release.mk) like this:

    NV              = $(pkg_name)-$(VERSION)

Hmm...
As I write this, I wonder about removing $(NV) instead.
That's a little more readable, since you don't have to
go look up where the heck $(pkg_name)-* was created
(finding the NV definition in a separate file).
Then there's the question of whether you want to remove
only this particular directory, or *all* with that prefix,
including $(pkg_name)-precious that I carefully renamed for
future reference ;-)

When I put it that way, I do prefer the more conservative
approach of dropping the wildcard and just using $(NV).

Either way's ok though.

ACK.
