(Get the code!)
Problem solved.
After installing a new kernel., dpkg runs update-grub. Read the man page, as seen there, it checks the kernel files under /boot as well as the defaults set up in menu.lst one of them being "groot (hd0,8)" This of course in my case has to be edited to reflect the new partitioning.
What we need is either a code that will double-check the current grub configuration and alert the user to a discrepancy between the currently considered default, and the actual default.
This alert can also be called upon after closing parted. Another option is having a current view of the partitions stored, and checked to see changes weren't made at reboot. (Most partitioning of systems is done while running some kind of livecd so after running parted doesn't really help)
