What defines a "Server" / which packages are supported?

[Andy Smith]

Hello,

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases says 8.04 LTS is supported until
2011 on the Desktop or 2013 on the Server.

Can anyone tell me what that officially means?  Officially what
defines a Server install?

Given the average install that is pointing at the hardy repositories
and is dully updated, how would one find out which packages it has
on it that are not supported past 2011?

Cheers,
Andy
