This is a non-issue. The package name was wrong all along, so why not let it remain wrong? There are always potential problems with replacing packages, in this case the backup-file /etc/mkinitcpio.d/kernel26.preset which will not be kept with such a change. Changing file names in /boot is another such problem. That said, at some point we might fix that name, and the package name should be 'linux', of course.
