Is the point really only to clear the confusion? In that case, another 
option *could* be to just have the "Ubuntu provides a full featured 
server system, which can be installed from the Desktop installation cd" 
advertisement wherever the server-cd would be listed ( 
http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/5.10/ , etcetera). It would have a similar 
seperate header "Server Installation", along with the live- and 
desktop-option. So people think "hey, I want the server installation 
cd... Ow wait, it's not a seperate cd!". This will make people aware of 
the fact that there is a server possibility too, but maybe it makes some 
people think server from desktop-installer is a 2nd class citizen.

Otherwise (if the proposed server install cd provides server stuff the 
current desktop cd does not/can not, e.g. because of the limitations of 
the cd size), there is not much to consider, so let's have the seperate 
server cd.
