16 Underscores are considered reserved for USE_EXPAND, so presumably this
17 one should be renamed.

21 AFAICS, only apache2_modules_*, collectd_plugins_*, and
22 enlightenment_modules_* are USE_EXPAND, i.e. have an entry in
23 make.defaults of some profile. (Plus linguas_*, which is on its way
24 out of the tree though.)

27
28 fbcon_frontend_*, strongswan_plugins_*, and ups_drivers_* look like
29 candidates. Not sure about the rest.

31 Anything that isn't a USE_EXPAND shouldn't have an underscore in its
32 name, though ...
