If needed, the metapacakages could add an additional file to make it easier for os-prober to identify them.

No, this is won't fix. All flavours identify themself as Ubuntu, as in reality they all are overaching Ubuntu. And one can co-install multiple desktop environments on the same machine.

Just a guess, but maybe this could be handled in os-prober.
My initial thought is if grub could check whether a specific desktop meta-package is installed and use that name instead of Ubuntu. I think "Ubuntu" should still be the name if more than one metapackage is installed instead of trying to pick a name.
