[Bug 915591] [NEW] mixture of GRUB legacy and GRUB 2 after dist-upgrade

[Hans Streibel]

Public bug reported:

After an upgrade (using the update-manager) from 10.04 (netbook edition)
to 12.04 (development) there seems to be a mixture of GRUB legacy and GRUB 2
packages on my system:

The new 3.x kernels only were incorporated into
    /boot/grub/menu.lst
but the selection shown at boot time obviously is that of
    /boot/grub/grub.cfg
which was not changed during dist upgrade and still only
shows 2.6.x kernels.

My GRUB packages:
hans at netbook:~$ dpkg -l | grep grub
ii  grub                                          0.97-29ubuntu65                                 GRand Unified Bootloader (Legacy version)
ii  grub-common                                   1.99-14ubuntu2                                  GRand Unified Bootloader (common files)
rc  grub-pc                                       1.98-1ubuntu6                                   GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIOS version)
