ok, I found how to test, using the kernel source package :

$ cd ./linux-3.0.0/debian/linux-image-3.0.0-17-server/boot
$ makedumpfile -g vmcoreinfo-3.0.0-17-server -x ../build/build-server/vmlinux

The kernel version is not supported.
The created dumpfile may be incomplete.

The vmcoreinfo is saved to ./boot/vmcoreinfo-3.0.0-17-server.

makedumpfile Completed.

This is caused by the fact that the latest version defined in makedumpfile.h is :
#define LATEST_VERSION KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 36)/* linux-2.6.36 */

I'll check with upstream what can be done about that
