Dual-boot Ubuntu 11.10 / Windows XP

A French user reported the following bug on ubuntu-fr forum (http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=7889101#p7889101) : his Windows XP boot.ini was deleted twice by 2 Ubuntu updates. More details below:

- After Ubuntu update on 21st Jan 2012, XP's boot.ini file has been deleted. (Boot-Info Summary: http://paste.ubuntu.com/812127 ).
Consequency: after reboot, boot on XP bacame impossible.
Workaround: regenerating a boot.ini file solved the problem.

- After Ubuntu update on 29th Jan 2012 (including 3.0.0-15 kernel), XP's boot.ini file was deleted again. (summary: http://paste.ubuntu.com/821120 )
Consequency: same
Workaround: same

Remark: I personnaly also have a XP / 11.10 dualboot but didn't reproduced the bug.
