No, no, no... Only once.

With new kernel, it runs update-grub, not grub-install. update-grub only
updates kernel list in /boot/grub/menu.lst (grub-install installs grub
in MBR or on partition). Once grub is in MBR, it always
checks /boot/grub/menu.lst. Cause of that, you don't need to do anything
when new kernel is installed, if you installed grub in MBR.
