O, boy. Will I ever get this right :-(
Sorry for being such a nuisance.
Here we go...

Having run 'scripts/ver_linux' on my Gentoo system, as well as having
looked through some recent bug reports on the kernel bugzilla website
showing the output of the script in question, I have observed that
the output is not accurate across various distros. While the current
implementation of the script expects version numbers to be found
in particular fields, some of the utilities invoked by the script,
output their version information in varying formats, which results in
the script displaying information other than the version number.

The proposed implementation relies mostly on sed to detect the version
numbers more accurately in a more general way.

Running the patched version of the script on the distros below resulted
in accurate and uniform output.

Gentoo Linux
Debian 6.0.10
Oracle Linux Server release 7.1
Arch Linux
openSuSE 13.2

The items left unchanged are those I did not have access to. I would
be willing to work on those too, if supplied the output of the affected
commands whose format differs based on the distro.

-------------------------------------
A few comments are in order.

/usr/src/linux/scripts/ver_linux.orig:22,26
The current implementation outputs the version of 'util-linux' by
calling 'fdformat', which had not been found installed on most of the
test systems available to me. As 'mount' is a part of the 'util-linux'
package, the proposed implementation invokes 'mount' only, and unifies
the lines above into a single block.

/usr/src/linux/scripts/ver_linux.orig:77,83
'loadkeys -h' does not output the versionning number across all the
test systems available to me, while 'loadkeys -V' does. The proposed
implementation calls 'loadkeys -V' only once, and outputs the versioning
info acquired for both 'Kdb' and 'console-tools'.

/usr/src/linux/scripts/ver_linux.orig:90
None of the test systems I have access to seem to have 'udevinfo'
installed. Perhaps, 'udevinfo' is the former name for something that
could now be substituted by 'udevadm --version'.
-------------------------------------
Sample output of the current implementation on Gentoo Linux:
