Comment 13 for bug 3485

Hello Timo,

"I agree that it's unfortunate that Ubuntu's installer doesn't detect all the other distributions"

That's not the problem (Ubuntu leaves the entries made by other distros alone which is excellent). The problem is that Ubuntu detects all the linux images in /boot and throws away its existing entry for booting itself and adds LOTS of entries for booting itself with lots of incorrect Linux images. I only want one or two entries for booting Ubuntu and I want those to be for correct images that are actually installed/updated. Each time this happens I have edit the command line parameters of the booting grub to get the system to go and then hand edit menu.lst to contain the right entries so they stick which is immensely frustrating.

However, since you have jumped through the hoops to have this bug confirmed, I shall jump through the hoops to satisfy your request.
