This question was actually raised a few days ago in a thread about a 
proposed SlackBuild template for packaging pre-built binaries. It also 
proposed to name scripts for repackaging software as *-bin, and in the 
following discussion I felt that the consensus was to use exactly that 
naming scheme for SlackBuilds, except for cases when repackaging a 
binary is the only SBo-compatible way (like proprietary software).

So you should ask the current maintainer of kubectl to rename the 
SlackBuild to kubectl-bin or even remove it altogether if building from 
source doesn't require many dependencies and not resource-intensive.
