Bug Description

Filing against apt, since I think I've seen seen this with plain apt-get update commands. However, this might be the fault of dpkg or do-release-upgrade.

When I upgraded from 12.10 to Raring, I found multiple instances of running kernel triggers. It seemed inefficient to me to see the grub configuration regenerated over and over again:
