Because it would be right on the Debian Website and probably on the

True, but kernel version is not as important as libc version and
filesystem layout. Kernel version really means very little. It simply
provides an easy method of very basic configuration management. Not
detailed ... I would not expect there to be more than a half-dozen things
that the LSB should specify ... maybe 10 at most.
