So from the core codes perspective those names mean less than nothing.
Its just a string to carry along for us meat-bags. The string isn't even
there when !SCHED_DEBUG.
So from this codes POV you told it it had a domain without PKGSHARE,
that's fine.
That said; yeah the thing isn't the prettiest piece of code. But it has
the big advantage of being the one place where we convert topology into
behaviour.
