Before, both local tarball and local directory could set LINUX_VERSION
to "custom". Now only the local tarball can. So I switched.

In restrospect, this change is not nice: all other cases deal with the
option from the choice, so we should indeed keep it for local tarball
too. Besides, LINUX_VERSION is derived from the local tarball option, so
better to use the "mother" option than the derived one.

I'll fix that and take care of legacy, then respin.

Thanks! :-)
