Title:
  Cannot add per-kernel options for ABI versions

Status in “grub” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  My /boot is shared between Ubuntu Hoary and Debian Sid, and I was going to use
  the kopt_x_y_z flags in menu.lst to configure the root device for each kernel. 
  Sid has a kernel 2.6.12-1-686, and Hoary has a Breezy kernel, 2.6.12-6-686.   
  However, the update-grub code to check for version numbers doesn't match after
  three digits so it's not possible to add custom kopts like kopt_2_6_12_6.
