[Bug 1276544] [NEW] Multi-boot grub menu does not identify releases

[Richard Elkins]

Public bug reported:

Ubiquity 2.10.29 does identify existing Ubuntu releases (E.g. "Trusty
Tahr") during a potentital along-sideof Precise 12.04.04 type
installation.  However, this information is not reflected in the
resulting boot menu.

For example, I shrunk Trusty from an entire disk installation to a 1/2
disk, leaving room for Precise 12.04.04.  Then, I installed Precise
along-side of Trusty.  The attached 3 images are the resulting boot menu
items on the display when the operator is prompted to select an image to
boot from the grub menu.

"Windows" does show up in a dual boot case of Ubuntu with Windows.  Why
not include the Ubuntu release name+number for clarity?
