It deals different versions of Debian and Ubuntu too.

By the way, on ubuntu systems this information is stored in 
/proc/version_signature:
root@web1:~/bin# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.28-15-server (buildd@yellow) (gcc version 4.3.3 
(Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) ) #52-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 9 11:34:09 UTC 2009
root@web1:~/bin# cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 2.6.28-15.52-server

Cheers,
Gunni
