Indeed that seems pointless. My only guess about its historic origin
is that it's somehow better for the kernel package to own the
/lib/modules/%{version}-%{release}.%{_arch} directory rather than
the kernel-devel package supplying/owning that directory also just
so it can own the symlink. Cue ominous music for rpm black magic.
