I think some qualification of "random ${PN} all over the install phase"
needs to be made - how random is random, are there any allowed
instances?

AFAIK with the exception of some system-wide resources (eg. themes,
icons, fonts) packages installing to locations such as /usr/share and
/usr/share/doc should install to directories named after the package (as
in after ${PN} or ${PF}). This means, when writing src_install(), that
use of those variables would be necessary. Should we always use ${PF}
instead, or are some instances of ${PN} reasonable?
