Just for the records: The way to prevent this is very simple. Just
add custom entries to menu.lst outside of the section marked by the
following lines:

### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below
....
### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

(never mind the mentionning of Debian, this has been copied from a
 Ubuntu machine)
