I have added this argument to the wiki. kmdls allow you to bolster
your oen kernel package called my-special-kernel-2.6.18-111 and
support it with kmdls.

Background: custom kernel packages should always either change the
main name of the rpm package or introduce themselves as a new flavour
otherwise they get rpm-sorted into the same upgrade path like vendor
kernels which neither the vendor, nor the author of the custom kernel
package wants to happen.

kmdls fully support custom kernel rpms.
