[Bug 1310087] [NEW] Grub boot list built multiple times during distribution upgrade

[Wolter Hellmund]

Public bug reported:

During a system distribution upgrade, the grub boot list is built and
rebuilt multiple times. It seems it is built first after installing the
newest linux kernel, and then after each removal of an older (obsolete)
kernel.

Description:	Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:	14.04

update-manager:
  Installed: 1:0.196.11
  Candidate: 1:0.196.11
  Version table:
 *** 1:0.196.11 0
        500 http://ubuntu.mirror.frontiernet.net/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

It is expected to have the grub boot list built only once.

** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
