linux-ec2 is a metapackage. Version 2.6.32.363.44 depends on
linux-image-ec2 (= 2.6.32.363.44). linux-image-ec2 (2.6.32.363.44)
depends on linux-image-2.6.32-363-ec2. linux-image-2.6.32-363-ec2 is
version 2.6.32-363.77 in the archive.

Provided that you have the lucid-security pocket correctly enabled,
apt-get should correctly pull in the security update unless you have
some weird configuration going on:

$ chdist apt-get lucid install --simulate linux-ec2|egrep '^Inst.*ec2'
Inst linux-image-2.6.32-363-ec2 (2.6.32-363.77 Ubuntu:10.04/lucid-updates [amd64])
Inst linux-image-ec2 (2.6.32.363.44 Ubuntu:10.04/lucid-updates [amd64])
Inst linux-ec2 (2.6.32.363.44 Ubuntu:10.04/lucid-updates [amd64])

Note linux-image-2.6.32-363-ec2 2.6.32-363.77 in the above output.

HTH,
