I'm sorry I missed the discussion, but isn't this just a matter of 
documentation?  The Makefile.common file could easily have comments at 
the top of the file indicating which package Makefile include it.  I 
remember doing this for several packages that I've maintained in the 
past, and it worked very well.

I don't think I want even more magic for determining the package name, 
as it gets kind of complex as it is.
