I've often wondered why the order is the way it is.  If I were to do this from 
scratch, I'd move the ${PN} item to last in the default order.  Have you 
considered this more radical approach, that would then allow all of the default 
splits to occur before the ${PN} processing.  (It might also allow the ${PN} to 
simply be a "/*" instead of more complex rules.)
