The /boot/grub/menu.lst file must have "updatedefaultentry=true" line, or else the default entry will change place.

Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub
The /boot/grub/menu.lst file must have "updatedefaulte
In a dual-boot installation, with Ubuntu being the first option to choose, and Microsoft Windows the last and default option, when the kernel is updated, things move and loses the position MS Windows is no more the default option.
The problem is possibly solved with adding the line:
updatedefaulten
in the /boot/grub/menu.lst

This is the expected behaviour for grub, so its not a bug.
IT would be a (wishlist) bug if you were asking for the update string to be added to grub to change the way the system currently handles new kernels.
FWIW, i dont feel that the line should be added :)
