Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve
Ubuntu.
I'm afraid I have to say I don't think this is a bug in the Ubuntu
packages. The file /boot/vmlinuz is certainly not part of any Ubuntu
package, and grub has no way of knowing that this kernel needs an initrd
in order to boot on your system. update-grub is doing exactly what it's
expected to do here.
Removing the /boot/vmlinuz file, and re-running 'sudo update-grub',
should be enough to restore your menu.lst to a working-by-default state.
You might also run 'dpkg -S /boot/vmlinuz', just to verify that this
file didn't come from a package of non-Ubuntu origin.
** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
