New nvidia built again old kernel?
I was looking at the change log for the nvidia package today and the change from -1 to -2 is that it is built against Linux 4.4.2. However, also in pipes for today's upgrade is Linux 4.4.3.
Is this a typo, or something I should be worried about?

Why would you need to be worried?

I would imagine that if the graphics driver has to be repackaged for each kernel, than it is kernel specific. If the one in the repo is built against Linux 4.4.2 when I'm using 4.4.3, then that would cause a problem.
I'm certain this is just a typo since we skipped 4.4.2 and went from 4.4.1 to 4.4.3, but I want to check to be sure.
