Then why not edit it when the process is over.

I never bother with going the extra step but just let grub be written to the 
MBR.  (lazy)

Yet I may have 3 *buntu's and an XP on a particular machine.

It is a simple step to merge the boots from my old menu.lst into the new one 
and I'm done.   And you can also change the default settings within the 
menu.lst at the same time.
