Debian doesn't have it in the distro yet, but I can ask the reporter to verify it works.
There's no technical driver behind the version bump, so it might be best to consider such checks obsolete for Linux. If there are new features introduced that need to be supported by specific changes in makedefs, they are going to have to be tied to a specific version (like epoll in Linux 2). I don't think the major version will be a useful distinction.
