As far as DTs go, there are only 2 users of asahi-kasei, and they were both added well after the prefix was documented, so those seem like plain old bugs. But due to ABIness, perhaps we have to support both ak and asahi-kasei. I don't think fixing this implies we should introduce a third option akm though. No DT is using that today.
