[Bug 21412] Re: Default update-grub behaviour is not intuitive with respect to user modifications

The ucf changes in 0.97-29ubuntu7 seem to have broken some update-grub
workflows.

In gutsy and before, you could setup a basic menu.list containing
update-grub options but no kernels, run update-grub, and get your
kernels correctly added to the menu.lst file.  Now, if a menu.lst exists
at all when you run update-grub, it won't insert new kernels.  Also, if
you remove kernels from menu.lst, there's no way to get them back
automatically, other than removing menu.lst entirely and running update-
grub.  Is there some magical string I need to put in my menu.lst to get
it to add kernels that aren't already there?
