This bug is only for the Ubuntu package (it's not obvious, but you can tell by the fact that the bug is against a package with "(Ubuntu)" in the name). Even more specifically, it's only a bug against the 10.10 version of Ubuntu.
As far as I can tell, the upstream source code is unmaintained. Since kernel versions will not change during the lifetime of a released version of Ubuntu, we don't really care too much about reworking this check for older kernels.
However, we will likely want to do something like this just for forward compatibility. I think there has been another version bump since 2.6.35, so we'll tackle this problem sometime during this Natty development cycle.
