Bug Description
When you get the new grub2 front screen - the bootable OS options on the first screen are all without their recovery mode options.
If you go to the Advanced options you are given the older kernels and their recovery modes.

Yes. This was an upstream change and some people have asked for it in the past, so I decided to leave it the way it was and see whether people liked it the old or the new way. I'll take this as a vote in favour of the old way, but there is a clear cost in diverging from upstream, so we'll see if this is a widely-held view.
