Title:
  Multi-boot grub menu does not identify releases

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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?
