Aha. Indeed, we have in code which do the replacement something like:
s/fqdn-sw-server/fqdn-sw-proxy/
And we do that replacement in whole kickstart file. Word by word.
And if your fqdn of spacewalk server is "install" or "selinux" or the 
same name as your base channel name, then yes bad thing can happen.
Please do not do that.

Write something which would replace only intended part of kickstart is 
too hard. It is much easier to name your spacewalk at least 
spacewalk.localdomain.
