I've reproduced the lacking conflict with the latest server and virtual
kernels in karmic-updates, 2.6.31-20.58, and can confirm that the
kernels in karmic-proposed, linux-image-2.6.31-21-{server,virtual}
2.6.31-21.59, correctly conflict on amd64. I also verified that the
linux-image-2.6.31-21-{generic-pae,virtual} kernel packages continue to
conflict with each other.
I also verified that none of the 2.6.31-20.58 kernels (generic, server,
generic-pae for {i386,amd64}) introduce no regressions in the qa-
regression-testing kernel tests. Marking verification-done.
The reason these packages need to conflict is that the linux virtual
kernel is not separately built from the server/generic-pae kernel
images. The same kernel image is used as both, it's just that the
virtual kernel packages include fewer kernel modules. Re- architecting
the kernel build process is out of scope for a karmic SRU as well as for
lucid, given how late it is in its development cycle.

linux-image-2.6.31-14-server and linux-image-2.6.31-14-virtual don't list a
conflict with each other, but both provide vmlinuz-server on amd64
