This however directly leads to grub2 menuentry for this suffixed binary being generated as well during the run of installkernel script. Later in the process the temporary -rpm suffixed files are removed, and therefore we end up with spurious (and non-functional) grub2 menu entries for each installed kernel RPM. Fix that by using a different temporary name (prefixed by '.'), so that the binary is not recognized as an actual kernel binary and no menuentry is created for it.
