This can be used when the kernel source is in a SCM and uname -v
is supposed to give the commit date and not the package build time.

Is this really necessary? I don't really see the point of this.

The package/kernel buildtime does not mean much, but the commit date
gives you a way to restore the source state for a given binary.
