Is this the file /boot/grub/menu.lst of your Ubuntu installation or is it 
from your Debian installation? There is a huge difference because if it 
is from your Debian installation, the update-grub script for Ubuntu 
shouldn't touch it at all. It looks like it isn't from Ubuntu Gutsy 
because otherwise the kernel used in the automagic kernel list would be 
2.6.22-* not 2.6.24-*. If it is from Debian, you would have to manage the 
Ubuntu part manually, and your problem doesn't come from Ubuntu but from 
Debian because the Ubuntu script wouldn't see your menu.lst.
