This is the expected behaviour for grub, so its not a bug. IT would be a (wishlist) bug if you were asking for the update string to be added to grub to change the way the system currently handles new kernels.
FWIW, i dont feel that the line should be added :) kk -- The /boot/grub/menu.lst file must have "updatedefaultentry=true" line, or else the default entry will change place. https://launchpad.net/bugs/48956 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
