No, the names are fine that way. They are deliberately chosen that way
to not have to rebuild the userland parts with each kernel update but
still have a proper dependency. It also works for all kmdls (all
kmdls, not only nvidia) since several years now, so it would be
strange if such a part would suddenly create problems.
