This is in fact NOT a duplicate issue. The issue I have raised is when dual booting different versions of ubuntu, each version creates it's own /boot directory + contents, and the MBR usually points to the OS that was installed second. When the first OS has an upgrade, it updates /boot/menu.lst on it's own partition and does not appear in Grub because Grub points to the second partition.
I do not know if this is a bug or wish list, but perhaps when installing a second version of ubuntu on the same machine it should offer to reuse /boot of the first installation ?
