The descriptions shown in Synaptic:


linux-image-server:

Linux kernel image on Server Equipment.

This package will always depend on the latest kernel image available
for Server Equipment.

Canonical provides critical updates for linux-image-server until April
2012.



linux-server:

==> Complete Linux kernel on Server Equipment.

This package will always depend on the latest complete Linux kernel
available
for Server Equipment.
