Well, baselayout and livecd-tools both use it, also.  Quite honestly,
I'd suggest leaving it alone, unless you're really that pedantic that
you feel the need to change it.

Remember that there are many things that affect multiple packages, as
most of the LiveCD/catalyst stuff is designed to work together, meaning
pieces of necessary code might be spread across several different
packages in the tree and not necessarily all in catalyst or genkernel.
