Come to think of it, can this bug cause existing installations to become unbootable after a while ? Consider a machine with only two installs, each of which runs update-grub occasionally.
Each time update-grub is run in install A, A's menu.list is made to be twice the size of B's, and vice versa. So after running update-grub five times in each install, in alternation, the menu.list will have O(1000) entries (x the original three or so). We don't know when bug 54041 triggers. Perhaps this bug should be `High' ?
