You should not use variables names in the name of a package, even this
is possible in install_packages. Also the old examples using
kernel-source-`echo $kernelversion` should not be used any more.

But maybe it's possible to change the subroutine get_addpackages() in
fai-mirror to support the variable names in $addpackages. Patches are
always welcome ;-)
