Meaning of Server vs. Desktop versions of Ubuntu Dapper Long-Term-Support

As I understand it, the Desktop version of Ubuntu Dapper LTS will be supported for 18 months, while the Server version of Dapper will be supported for 36 months.
What exactly does this mean? For instance, I'm pretty sure that the default install from the server CD would be supported for 36 months. What if I install ubuntu-desktop on top of a server install? Those packages are probably only supported for 18 months. But how do I know, when I'm planning a server rollout, exactly what packages will be supported for how long? Are all command-line apps considered "Server" while all GUI's are considered "Desktop?" Where is the boundary between the two?
Thanks very much!
