You are now supposed to compare the Debian package version reported
by uname (3.2.41-2 in the example above) against the one currently
installed (e.g. using dpkg -l). /proc/version still reports the build
time for me, though.

As the source package used to build the kernel uniquely identifies the
kernel, you should only care about the source package version?
