Yes, but the use of make-kpkg is not mandated, so you should
stick to uname or cat /proc/version or cat /proc/ksyms instead.

I have passed in ignorance through a cycle of many rebirths, seeking
the builder of the house. Continuous rebirth is a painful thing. But
now, housebuilder, I have found you out. You will not build me a
house again. All your rafters are broken, your ridge-pole
shattered. My mind is free from active thought, and has made an end
of craving. 153, 154
