FFE: [sync] Upgrade os-prober from 1.42 to 1.44 to properly support Haiku & Gentoo kernels

[Ynot]

I am requesting a freeze exception to upgrade the os-prober from 1.42 to 1.44 in Natty. Ubuntu does not have any patches from the Debian upstream. The attached debdiff is a relatively small bugfix and will enable better support for Haiku & Gentoo dual-booters.

Original bug description:

Grub2 OS prober only finds kernels named
vmlinu[xz].*

Kernels named differently are not written to /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Some distros provide instructions to name kernels differently, Eg. Gentoo "kernel-...."
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=7

Ubuntu's Grub2 install does not detect these kernels unless renamed

This sounds fine and by and large a bug fix (so no FFE necessary).

Note, please don't confirm FFEs yourself. Unapproved FFEs should have status "New".

Thanks!
