Further to add...though tried this (cat /usr/sbin/update-grub) in hardy 
where I had it converted to grub2, (but left the menu.lst there)
the results are as follows.. (in the pastebin)..

So I guess this (update-grub) shouldn't be used where karmic was 
upgraded from jaunty where grub-legacy was installed. I also think it is 
a recent addition as I remembered trying this out (without success) with 
grub2...not sure when though.

But thanks for bring this up.

Happy new year,
