Lubuntu noticed that I had 304.131-0ubuntu3, and Software Updates
offered to install the (non-fixed) 304.132-0ubuntu1.

In the changelog displayed, I noted that there was a 304.131-0ubuntu4 and 
304.131-0ubuntu5.
but the latest I found at the above website was 304.131-0ubuntu3.

I see from the changelog:
"Version 304.131-0ubuntu5: 

  * debian/templates/control.in:
    - Add transitional packages to deprecate the -updates flavour.


Version 304.131-0ubuntu4: 

  * debian/templates/dkms.conf.in,
    debian/dkms/patches/buildfix_kernel_4.6.patch:
    - Add support for Linux 4.6."

Since Lubuntu 16.04 used Linux 4.4.xxx, I am guessing that whatever
changed in 4.6 that made 304.131-0ubuntu4 necessary is still present in
4.8, and thus possibly that is why 304.131-0ubuntu3 did not work.

Why is there no version higher than 304.131-0ubuntu3 in the official (?)
nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 site above?

Where can I find 304.131-0ubuntu5 (at least 304.131-0ubuntu4, but I
assume what bug(s) 304.131-0ubuntu5 fixed might somehow be
important...)?
