That's unfortunate, but menu.lst clearly says:
## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below
update-grub isn't explicitly called by the scripts in linux-image,
Rather it is setup as a hook in /etc/kernel-img.conf. If you would
like to prevent update-grub from running on install, you can remove
the hooks lines from that file.
