The problem (for me) is that I have to create new directories/symlinks
every time the distro has a new minor kernel version upgrade. But, as
has already been pointed out, it seems that this is an addition by
RPMFusion.

I'd probably vote for having an amd64_linux default, but having the
3.x kernels use amd64_linux26 (or amd64_linux26) would be fine too.
