It is already out of date, the version in your patch is 2.4.7-ac3, not ac5. Including a generated and dynamic file in the shipped kernel only works if the patch maintainer remembers to generate it every time. If somebody wants the kernel.spec file they can make spec and pick up their own kernel version. In any case, they will probably want to add patches and set EXTRAVERSION so a prebuilt kernel.spec is again out of date.
