Bug Description

Ubuntu 12.04.1 + GRUB version 1.99-22
See: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1185736

"os-prober" returns a correct list of systems, but "update-grub" generates a grub.cfg with duplicate entries:
- 5 identical entries of Linux Mint 13 Maya (13) (on /dev/sda5)
- 5 identical entries of Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (12.04) (on /dev/sda8)
- 9 identical entries of Debian GNU/Linux (wheezy/sid) (on /dev/sdb5)
- 7 identical entries of Debian GNU/Linux (wheezy/sid) (on /dev/sdb7)
- 5 identical entries of Debian GNU/Linux (6.0.5) (on /dev/sdc1)
- 8 identical entries of Ubuntu quantal (development branch) (12.10) (on /dev/sdc6)
- 5 identical entries of SolusOS Eveline 64-bit (1.2) (on /dev/sdc7)
- 6 identical entries of SolusOS 2 Alpha (Alpha) (on /dev/sdd2)
