I'd like to get rid of that from both the specfile _and_ the script.
But if we want to support "--define"less rebuilds for arbitrary custom
(but compatible) currently running kernels, AFAICS that would require us
to be able to extract the variant off a random "uname -r" string, which
I don't think is possible.

That works only if their kernel variant is one of the known variants :(
