isn't "do_install_append_pn-uclibc" partly redundant?

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@crashcourse.ca>]

  perusing recipes for my courseware and ran across this in the listed
file:

meta/recipes-core/uclibc/uclibc.inc:do_install_append_pn-uclibc () {

now, given that the above file is clearly the general include file for
the uclibc package, could the task append definition:

  do_install_append_pn-uclibc () {

not have been written more simply as:

  do_install_append () {

as in, given that this task append is clearly only for the uclibc
package, it seems unnecessary to add a package-specific override. most
other recipes use the second, shorter form, so i was wondering if
there was something subtle about the uclibc recipe that necessitated
the first form.
