There is a tiny inconsistency in the PKGBUILD of the linux package.
It does actually only matter for custom kernel builds.

The script changes the initramfs image paths in linux.preset but not the kernel image. I would suggest to add the following lines (at least the second one) to the corresponding section in the PKGBUILD.

# set correct depmod command for install
sed \
+ -e "1s|'linux'|'${pkgname}'|g" \
+ -e "s|ALL_kver=.*|ALL_kver=\"/boot/vmlinuz-${pkgname}\"|g" \
-e "s/KERNEL_NAME=.*/KERNEL_NAME=${_kernelname}/g" \

or when dirty ways are allowed perhaps even just
sed -e "s|linux|${pkgname}|g" (...)
This task depends upon

Hm ok you know what i mean, even when the bugtracker removed the spaces in front of the lines.
The + lines should be the new ones, just as in a diff patch.

provide a patch

Yes, if you provide a diff, it will be much easier to understand. I agree that this should be adjusted to ease kernel customization.

For a patch see my duplicate  FS#25460 .
The part "+ -e "1s|'linux'|'${pkgname}'|g" \" is not necessary.

Tell me, if you want me to attach the patch here, too.

You can just attach your patch here, no harm.

It's patched against the PKGBUILD in abs.
