Upgrading linux-image packages beyond available linux-server version

I have a 10.04 server which is running the 2.6.32.33.39 version of the 
linux-server package. This seems to be the highest candidate for my release:

$ apt-cache policy linux-server
linux-server:
   Installed: 2.6.32.33.39
   Candidate: 2.6.32.33.39
   Version table:
  *** 2.6.32.33.39 0
         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages
         500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Packages
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
      2.6.32.21.22 0
         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages

However, I also see kernels newer than that specified by the server package, 
e.g. linux-image-2.6.38-10-server, but with no corresponding linux-server 
package. Is there a reasonable way to use the newer kernel?

Thanks,
Chuck
