On my fully updated Alpha 6, I'm showing:

$ apt-cache policy grub-common
grub-common:
  Installed: 1.97~beta3-1ubuntu6
  Candidate: 1.97~beta3-1ubuntu6
  Version table:
 *** 1.97~beta3-1ubuntu6 0

Which, according to this, seems to be the latest?
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2

And of course I no longer have menu.lst, but /boot/grub/grub.cfg &
/etc/default/grub etc., as well.
