I guess this should be alpha 4, since alpha 5 is not out yet. :)

This is very strange. That is of course not a complete menu.lst file so
that's quite a serious bug for the config to be overwritten this way, but
I've not seen anything like this in my tests and it's not the same problem
reported by Michael. Is there any chance that you have a copy of your
original menu.lst from before the dist-upgrade? You were dist-upgrading
from dapper when this happened, correct?
