As far as I understand the problem is small, because it only makes sense
to evaluate the "uname -r" string at RPM build time and not during
installation. IT would be bad if in %install section the kernel module
would be put into the evaluated kernel modules directory, whether it
fits or not. This is just because a kernel module is absolutely kernel
specific.
The evaluation is only for doing the rpmbuild run easier, right?
