Title:
  Duplicate entries in GRUB menu

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.04.1 + GRUB version 1.99-22
  See: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1185736

  "os-prober" returns a correct list of systems, but "update-grub" generates a grub.cfg with duplicate entries:
  - 5 identical entries of Linux Mint 13 Maya (13) (on /dev/sda5)
  - 5 identical entries of Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (12.04) (on /dev/sda8)
  - 9 identical entries of Debian GNU/Linux (wheezy/sid) (on /dev/sdb5)
  - 7 identical entries of Debian GNU/Linux (wheezy/sid) (on /dev/sdb7)
  - 5 identical entries of Debian GNU/Linux (6.0.5) (on /dev/sdc1)
  - 8 identical entries of Ubuntu quantal (development branch) (12.10) (on /dev/sdc6)
  - 5 identical entries of SolusOS Eveline 64-bit (1.2) (on /dev/sdc7)
  - 6 identical entries of SolusOS 2 Alpha (Alpha) (on /dev/sdd2)
