My point was/is "version is allready in the boot.img.gz".

I did known because in #250321 I did ask

 Can the (build) date be put in the image?

See http://bugs.debian.org/250321 for further information.

Now I don't understand the bug submitter.

For a Debian system he has something that works
and for non-Debian systems is now this bugreport filed.


Florian,

Please elaborate the use case for this wishlist bugreport.
