That is most certainly not true.  This bug was *fixed* in the version of
grub that it was reported against, in the release that included the
kernels that exposed the problem.  That this would subsequently cause
problems on the 10.04 LTS release due to backported kernels was not
obvious at the time - and following up to a closed bug is generally not
the most effective way to draw developers' attention to  such an issue
(it's probably better to file a new bug).

Now that the issue is known, this definitely becomes a priority to fix
since it makes the backported kernels useless.

  I noticed I'm not running that latest kernel and it seems that update-
  grub doesn't like the newest ones I have available.
