How to upgrade 12.04.2 kernel and HWE to raring?

As the topic states I want to upgrade my 12.04.2 to newest raring lts kernel and HWE.

Now I have:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu

Description:    Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS

Release:        12.04

Codename:       precise



Linux NAS 3.5.0-28-generic #48~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 24 21:42:24 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Some history:
Originally installed 12.04.1 LTS, then upgraded to 12.04.2, and some time ago I've upgraded kernel and HWE to quantal by installing:

linux-generic-lts-quantal and xserver-xorg-lts-quantal

Now I'd like to the same but to raring. And there lies the problem, as linux-generic-lts-raring exists but xserver-xorg-lts-raring does not. Did the procedure change, or I'll have to wait a bit for xserver to show up in the repos ?

The xserver-xorg-lts-raring package was on proposed repository for a while, but I just checked again and it's now available on main. I have only the regular repositories enabled (no proposed nor backports) and was able to install it alongside linux-generic-lts-raring and it's running fine on my system.
