Same problem over here. When I start up my box it runs by default using my last kernel (31-11). No grub screen for selecting safe mode or previous kernels.
However, Ive managed to play with the settings in the grub file (/etc/defaults/grub) and got a splash screen with a time out (setted to 10secs). That gives me a screen in blue (debian logo) with a countdown 10-0 in the right top corner, no other text in that blue screen. If I hit ESC I get my grub startup with all my kernels to choose from.
After running sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc my grub file gets updated and all comes back to the default (second sentence of this post)
Here is my grub file after running sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entrys
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true"
