Yes, Lubuntu is listed as Ubuntu in the grub boot menu. Not sure why
that is. Perhaps that was intended but it make distinguishing OS in the
menu.

What I did was edit the grub.cfg file under the path /boot/grub/grb.cfg.
There, I changed the names of all OSs to something specific. You could
do the samething if you want to be able to tell the difference between
OSes.

Title:
  After installing Lubuntu from USB stick, GRUB mistakenly lists Lubuntu
  as Ubuntu

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed Lubuntu 15.04 Vervet (Live image 2015-01-09) as a Manual
  installation (choosing "Something else...") to install the test
  Lubuntu alongside a machine that already has Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and
  Windows 7.

  After installation, Lubuntu was mistakenly listed as "Ubuntu" in the
  GRUB menu. The existing Ubuntu installation, which had formerly been
  labeled as "Ubuntu" was now (accurately) labeled as Ubuntu 14.04.

  To reproduce:

  Install Lubuntu alongside other existing operating systems using the
  "Something else..." option and configuring your partitions in the
  ubiquity installer.

  Expected result:

  Grub lists your new installation as "Lubuntu" and the other operating
  systems as their correct names.

  Actual result:

  Grub lists my new lubuntu installation as "Ubuntu" (only) and the
  other operating systems correctly (for me, Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and
  Windows 7).
