Title:
  Natty GRUB creates multiple entries for older versions of Ubuntu on
  the same computer

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I installed Natty on my two laptops and for some reasons I
  additionally installed Maverick on one Laptop and Lucid on the other
  both alongside the Natty installations on separate partitions.

  Note that the GRUB is Natty GRUB only, I chose not to install GRUB
  when doing the Maverick/Lucid installs.

  What happens is that on both systems the Natty GRUB os-prober churns
  out four or five entries for the older Ubuntu installation. Please
  find attached a copy of my grub.cfg. I have to manually edit
  /boot/grub/grub.cfg to remove the superfluous entries.

  Please fix it so that GRUB doesn't create additional entries.
