Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub
With grub 0.97-29ubuntu12 I get a strange behavior on a dapper->hardy test upgrade. update-grub is called during the upgrade but the menu.list file is not updated. No error or other indication that something is wrong is given. If update-grub is run on the installed system it says that it finds the relevant kernels, but it does not update the menu.list file. I will attach a typescript of the operation.

It looks like the problem is happening during ucf_update_ kernels( ). The content in "buffer" is ok, but when template grub/update_ grub_changeprom pt_threeway \
ucf --debconf-ok \
--debconf-
--three-way "$buffer" $ucf_menu_file
is called, the $ucf_menu_file is not updated.
I attach a new typescript with ucf debug output.
