It's update-grub (actually grub-mkconfig) not grub-install which replaces it. Maybe you missed the big warning at the top of the generated grub.cfg that you should not modify it directly? User config files belong in /etc according to Debian Policy and also FHS and must preserve user changes. I think because of this some distros have a /etc/grub.conf symlink to /boot/grub/menu.lst GRUB Legacy's configuration for update-grub was just weird and violated this, so it got replaced with a more cleaner version. > It should either ask permission to rebuild `grub.cfg' or at least keep an old > version with a > different name in the same directory.
