As an end user I find that slightly confusing to have so many different
permutations. I would find it less confusing to do your original way and
drop the "hybrid" altogether:
"kmod-wl" for the kmod package
"broadcom-wl" for the "userland" package
Sounds good.
which provides broadcom-wl-common = %{version}-%{release}
That nevertheless needs to provide "wl-kmod-common =
%{version}-%{release}" to satisfy the dep that automatically (by the
dark magic from kmodtool) gets added to each kmod package; but the user
normally won't see that.
