hook_requirements('install') called on unintended modules during Drupal install

I found a strange issue during Drupal install where hook_requirements('install') is called on seemingly random modules. After looking into the code, it seems that the problem lies within the drupal_get_install_functions() function in includes/install.inc. The function is passed a list of required modules (the modules getting installed as part of the profile), for example node, user, block, etc. and then tries to find .install files for the modules using the following pattern: '/' . $module . '.install$/'. As the pattern reads, the install files for all modules whose name matches or ends with the names of the required modules get called. For example, hook_requirements('install') will get invoked on the modules "mymodule_node" and "mymodulenode" even if they aren't being installed simply because they end with the word "node". This very small patch alters the $mask parameter so that it exactly matches the list of required modules. As a side note, a similar issue exists in D5 and D6 as well, and it has bit some users of the Search Lucene API module because it has a bundled contrib that is named "luceneapi_node".

Thanks,
