Comment 5 for bug 443326

What actually happens, is that the update keeps the 0.9x grub, but
updates the format of /boot/grub/menu.lst to a format which seems to
me to be a bit less human-friendly, using hex labels like in recent
installer-created versions of /etc/fstab. So I did let the upgrade
happen, finally.

I would assume that there's a new process for updating the 'old' menu.lst.
