Ah. In answer to my own question, it looks like the i386 server kernel
was 'dropped' in Karmic.
"Note that the i386-server flavour is being dropped. I can think of no
good reason to continue to support a 32 bit server. The 32 bit
-generic kernel ought to suffice for those headless implementations
that have used the -server flavour in the past, such as home gateways.
All of the -server unique settings can be made at runtime to a
-generic{-pae} kernel, the most important of which are I/O and process
scheduler settings."
