[Bug 1353683] [NEW] Incorrect entries in grub2 menu for another Ubuntu distro

[Pavel]

Public bug reported:

Linux-boot-prober in Precise outputs the next entries for Ubuntu Quantal
on another partition (/dev/sda1):

/dev/sda1:/dev/sda1:Ubuntu' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-bcd70963-01d2-45ec-83ea-2aaf820470be:/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-51-generic:/boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-51-generic:root=UUID=bcd70963-01d2-45ec-83ea-2aaf820470be ro quiet

As a result I have 5 menuentries with incorrect titles instead of one
entry for booting Quantal with the last kernel (3.5.0-51) and instead of
a submenu including 4 entries for 2 installed in Quantal versions of the
kernel (3.5.0-49 and 3.5.0-51).  As I understand, the current version of
os-prober in Precise takes entries from my grub.cfg file generated in
Quantal and stored on /dev/sda1 (the partition where Quantal is
installed) so I attach the grub.cfg entries generated by 10_linux script
in Quantal. I have the latest versions of the grub2 packages and os-
prober package in Quantal.
