Bug#873937: dpkg: should include information about the used kernel in .buildinfo files

Hi Guillem,

during discussing #844431 it became clear, that some information about the
running kernel should be included in .buildinfo files, as this can affect the
build.

For a start, including the output of "uname -s -r -v -m -i -o" (so basically
uname -a without the hostname) would be better than the current status quo,
though it would probably be even nicer to also include a hash of
/proc/config.gz or maybe even the whole thing.

Filing a bug now so that we can discuss the best implementation.

Thanks for maintaining dpkg!
