Retain Overridden "NAME" in Office 2016 Munki Recipes?

[foigus]

If I create an override for an Office 2016 Munki recipe (say "MSExcel2016.munki.recipe") and set:

• The "NAME" to "Excel2016_update"
• Set the "display_name" to "Microsoft Excel Display Name"

when I run the overridden recipe I get a pkginfo file:

• Named "Excel_2016_Installer-15.9.plist"
• The "name" set to "Excel_2016_Installer"
• The "display_name" set to "Microsoft Excel Display Name" (e.g. it was successfully overridden, testing to make sure the override is being evaluated)

My expectation is that I'd get a pkginfo file:

• Named "Excel2016_update-15.9.plist"
• The "name" set to "Excel2016_update"

The Office 2011 recipe follows the latter example above--if I override the "name" of "MSOffice2011Updates.munki.recipe" and set it to "foo", I get a pkginfo file:

• Named "foo-14.5.0.plist"
• The "name" set to "foo"

My override file is below:

Yup, my oversight to have dropped that key from the input stanza, will fix

No luck yet. My override file (below) results in a pkginfo of "Excel_2016_Installer-15.10.plist" that has a "name" key set to "Excel_2016_Installer".

For future generations, I've re-purposed the update-naming specific variable from Office2011 to fulfill this purpose. Example override: https://gist.github.com/arubdesu/dc0990e57e65ee2aaa6d
Thanks!

Why can't you follow %NAME% like most others?
