Ubuntu 11.10 is not a LTS release. The next Ubuntu LTS will be 12.04.
I don't know what kernel is going to be used as base - 3.2 was suggested
earlier, but 3.2 is not going to be a LTS kernel release. 3.3 may be too
late, and who knows if it is going to be LTS anyway. There seems to be
some magic in deciding which kernel releases are going to be LTS, my
predictions usually turn out to be wrong, and I gave up trying.

We'll see, but it may just be that Ubuntu and kernel LTS releases don't match.
