[Sussex] Etch GRUB naughtiness

[Gavin Stevens]

This is the second time this has happened:

Tracy's PC has a dual boot of Windows & Etch. When I do a software
update via the orange starburst icon & it includes a kernel update, the
Windows entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst is wiped when the computer is
restarted.

Personally, I am admire the spirit & thinking behind this, but it seems
a bit naughty. It's also true that it takes seconds to fix it - or more
to the point, it takes _me_ seconds to fix it. Tracy would be a bit
stuck if it happened to her while I was out & she needed Windows (her
migration to Debian is nearly complete, but not done just yet).

Is this normal behaviour for GRUB after such an update? Maybe it is but
I don't recall Sarge ever doing it on Tracy's PC & she had the same dual
boot with Sarge.

TIA for any thoughts,
Gavin.
