well, i wouldn't be opposed to doing something like this:

    -PKGNAME=           ${DISTNAME:S/_/-/}
    +PKGNAME=           ${DISTNAME:S/_/-/}-${OS_VERSION}

if that would work properly and have the desired effect (and little to
no side-effects), but be forewarned -- if you use the -E/-I options of
lintpkgsrc, this won't show up as out of date quite so readily.
