All LTS releases get kernel backports from the current version. You
install a metapackage called something like
linux-kernel-generic-lts-backport-vervet and that installs the latest
build for Vivid Vervet.

I wrote a simple guide for this back in the 10.04 era -- it's here:

*Don't* install specific version packages; find the metapackage you
want and install that.
