Public bug reported:
grub-mkconfig and subsequently, update-grub simply stop to run after
adding the memtest entry if there are LUKS partitions on the system,
thus making any update including kernel and grub updates stop - no
matter if done via Synaptics or apt-get:
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-10-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-10-generic

Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-9-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
--> stop
On manual grub-mkconfig or update-grub, hitting Enter multiple times
will finish the update:
$ sudo update-grub

This is no option when running Synaptics or apt-get, though, as Enter doesn't
penetrate the package install script layer - the only option is to cancel the
package install script with CTRL-C.
However, that causes the grub package to be marked as partially installed, and
subsequently, any update/install will trigger the package install scripts of
the grub package, leading to te aformentioned problems... meaning that updates
always require manual intervention.
