Variable substitution in package_config files

Hi,

I am just migrating my fai setup from version 2.5.3 to 2.8.3. With
version 2.5.3 it was possible to use bash-variables in package-files
inside the package_config-directory. In my opinion this was a nice
feature. I was able to setup the kernel-version  at a central
place and did not have to worry about the different kernel-package-entries
in my package_config-files (openafs-modules-$version,
nvidia-kernel-$version).

However in version 2.8.3 it does not work anymore. Any chance to get this
back? I already looked at install_packages, but because I am not a perl
maniac, I don't have a clue, where to start.
