put ucf 3.006 also into hardy -> will fix problems with update-grub
ucf 3.006 fixes problem in update-grub
update-grub does not terminate successful with ucf 3.005 or even lower for hardy.
This prevents all packages that use update-grub in their install scripts to install successfully: eg. memtest86 or maybe even a new kernel-image (not sure though).
I experienced this on a newly installed ubuntu 8.04 with an ucf 3.005.
To resolve the problem I had to get and install ucf 3.006.

ucf 3.006 contains a single bugfix over ucf 3.005:
* Bug fix: "ucf: fails to catch conflicts on three-way merging", thanks
to Niko Tyni. Closes: #473473
So this only affects the behavior of ucf when using three-way merging, which is not the default; and then only when a conflict is found that prevents a successful three-way merge.
Can you explain in more detail what the problem is that you're seeing with update-grub?
