OK, thanks Timo. I guess this explains things.

But let me suggest to modify the comments in menu.lst so that a human
being not familiar with the update process might actually understand
them:

### 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

That's pretty clear (at least now), but I guess one could add something
like "manual changes will be lost during the next upgrade". "Modified"
doesn't sound dramatic enough, if you know what I mean.
