[Bug 873824] [NEW] update-grub sets wrong file system for partitions

[jjbarrows]

Public bug reported:

update-grub creates:
menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-30-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
	recordfail
	insmod part_msdos
	insmod ext2
	set root='(hd0,msdos2)'
	search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 074e116c-9804-4f5c-a604-a635d6daa326
	linux	/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-30-generic root=UUID=074e116c-9804-4f5c-a604-a635d6daa326 ro   quiet splash
	initrd	/boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-30-generic
}

which does Not work - as the partition is ext4; manually changing the
/boot/grub/grub.cfg file to contain ext4 makes it work
