@boegel actually, this is possible with the templating. the easyconfig is only fully resolved after a number of steps in the process are taken.
the question is, do we allow such data to be used in the naming. (an example that is very clear is the ```%(installpath)s``` template, which is only available after the installpath is defined) 
i'd say no, the data that is used to name the module should be unambigously available in the easyconfig.
