** Description changed:

  Just guessing at the package, please reassign if necessary!
  
  After the latest Breezy upgrades, including a new kernel, I have found that my
  Windows partition and Thinkpad Rescue Partition, both previously automatically
  detected and inserted into the grub menu, have disappeared from my bootup
  options. Although this is essentially a Good Thing, it's clearly a bug. See URL
  for the hardware information.
