Hi, running ubuntu 16.04, I just noticed that the KernelUpdateChecker script somehow did not handle kernel version numbers correctly:

~$ KernelUpdateChecker -r \* -v 4.7
Run this command to install the new kernel
    /tmp/kernel-update

but if I inspect the /tmp/kernel-update contents it shows that 

WHERE="http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.7-rc5"
VER_A="4.7.0-040700rc5"
VER_B="201607110749"
VER_C="4.6.3-040603"

despite more recent versions being available in the 4.7.* lineage such as [http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.7.6/].

However running

~$ KernelUpdateChecker -r \* -v 4.7.6

or even

~$ KernelUpdateChecker -r \* -v 4.7.*

does not report the 4.7.6 kernel as available.

Same goes with version 4.8, rc8 is available but the script only reports 4.8rc1 as available.
