just came across this issue as well (feisty fawn). the bad thing is that
the update process doesn't even back up menu.lst:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/boot/grub# ls -al me*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4717 2007-12-19 14:56 menu.lst
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4717 2007-12-19 14:56 menu.lst~
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/boot/grub# 

both files are indentical.

i'd also like to second mannis suggestion to change the comments in
menu.lst to reflect this behaviour ... it might also be a good idea to
split up the boot options into two sections (one that will be
overwritten by update-grub and another one that won't be touched by this
script).

with kind regards,
thoralf.
