Well as far as I can see 10.04 certainly went from 2.6.32 to 2.6.35 and I'm pretty sure it had some older versions than that too.
Does it not track the Ubuntu kernels then ?
Ubuntu released 10.04 on 2.6.32 but afaik didn't have 2.6.35 until 10.10, in fact they even went to the effort of backporting DRM from 2.6.33 to 2.6.32 rather than change the kernel version.
Again AFAIK Ubuntu never change the kernel version mid release.
Well a quick Google turns up:-

Although I must admit most pages seem to say that each Ubuntu version sticks with one kernel major version. I'm confused then, why do I see a list of different kernel versions available when I boot, even though I haven't upgraded to the next Ubuntu version?
