Bug Description

After a few ubiquity installs, the memtest entries in the default grub menu.lst developed a funny habit of growing:

$ grep 'title.*memtest' /boot/grub/menu.lst
title Ubuntu, memtest86+
title Ubuntu, memtest86+ (on /dev/hda2)
title Ubuntu, memtest86+ (on /dev/hdc2) (on /dev/hda2)
title Ubuntu, memtest86+ (on /dev/hda3) (on /dev/hdc2) (on /dev/hda2)
title Ubuntu, memtest86+ (on /dev/hda2) (on /dev/hda3) (on /dev/hdc2) (on /dev/hda2)
title Ubuntu, memtest86+ (on /dev/hda3) (on /dev/hda2) (on /dev/hda3) (on /dev/hdc2) (on /dev/hda2)
