Still, I'm not that fast about changing the name.
This name is _kinda_ standard in Slackware for quite some time
and is used by default in _/etc/mkinitrd.conf_

Any suggestions?
Maybe a copy or configurable name of the output file in the SlackBuild?

Symlinking is out of scope, since the boot partition will often be 
FAT32, that does not support symlinks.
