What I'd like to know is if the system is booted into the latest
kernel, and I need that
information in an easy to consume way.

Unless I misunderstand what you're proposing, in that case, can you
please elaborate?

Hence my proposal for a reboot-required package which is the owner and
writes the file.

It's that little part I care very much about ;)
