Try installing refind - it is pretty good at detecting multiple OSes. That said, if you have a shared boot partition between installations, then you're going to have a much harder time detecting things, since each OS will run update-grub, and clobber the other's grub.cfg entries. You might be better off writing your own grub.cfg file or customizing scripts in /etc/kernel to handle regenerating grub.cfg when there are kernel updates.
