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

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

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

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