This one is checked in preinst and it aborts the upgrade if you are
running the lenny kernel and not upgrading it at the same time.
Newer kernels removed the compatibility links which the check tested,
but I improved it in 167-3.
So I am not sure that it would be useful to repeat the check in the init
script, and I think that it could make some upgrade scenarios much
harder to handle.

Do you know a cheap way to test for these? Anyway, lack of these
features is not supposed to cause problems except for sound and tape
devices.
