Bug#606904: grub-common: Mandriva boot record is imported incorrectly from its menu.lst

Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100804-10
Severity: important
I have Mandriva with legacy grub with /boot on /dev/sda and root on /dev/sda3.
In Debian update-grub finds menu.lst and imports entries from it, but it does
not correct partition number for initrd path.
I. e. in Mandriva's menu.lst the entry was
title linux
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=UUID=7dde89cb-75ec-
4be2-9928-2f37e14c6769 resume=UUID=c0555465-1a71-439d-a748-e22cfade80e5 vga=794
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd.img
In Debian's grub.cfg it appears as
menuentry "linux (on /dev/sda3)" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 1792a52b-b419-4a0f-acd0-f18194747dc7
linux /vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=UUID=7dde89cb-75ec-
4be2-9928-2f37e14c6769 resume=UUID=c0555465-1a71-439d-a748-e22cfade80e5 vga=794
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd.img
}
As you see, the last line contains partition name in legacy grub format, but it
should be changed to
initrd (hd0,msdos1)/initrd.img
It seems that the cause is in /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober
