I already store the 'uname -r' as `kernel_release` and the "debian package
version" is now stored as `kernel_group`, and 'Debian' string is the
`branch`.
I simply don't yet split the info in the kernel_release into
abi/flavour, but thinking about it I can make it visible in the "local"
column (still not splitted but that's ok). The place where to put it was
more a problem in the visualization than in the storage (since I store
/proc/version so no useful info can get lost ;). The local column is
what I use to show the git tag for example with mainline.
