Its kind of ironic isn't it? The humor was not lost on me either.

LTS seems to have some problems. Even security software remains broken
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=634930).

Title:
  Fedora17 and ArchLinux dont appear in GRUB menu

Status in “os-prober” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “os-prober” source package in Precise:
  Confirmed
Status in “os-prober” source package in Quantal:
  Confirmed
Status in “os-prober” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The os-prober of Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 does not detect
  Fedora17/ArchLinux when Fedora17/ArchLinux's partition is unmounted
  (which is frequent). Consequence: Fedora17/ArchLinux does not appear
  in Ubuntu's GRUB menu.

  This bug did not exist with the os-prober of 11.10, so it is a
  regression of os-prober.

  The os-prober of 12.04 correctly detects Fedora16 but not Fedora17.

  WORKAROUND: mount the Fedora17/ArchLinux partition before doing
  update-grub in Ubuntu.

  Bug confirmed by several French users with Fedora17 and Ubuntu12.04
  /12.10 (http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=9695571#p9695571
  and http://forums.fedora-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=57393 ).
