One kernel installed, four grub menu entries?



This one has been driving me batty and I've not figured out the cause
of this one yet.  On this desktop with Sid installed and grub as the
bootloader, for some time (months) update-grub has been adding a
"Default" entry and then repeats the entries again:

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-2-686 Default
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 apm=off acpi=on ro
initrd          /boot/initrd.img
savedefault

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-2-686 Default (recovery mode)
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 apm=off acpi=on ro single
initrd          /boot/initrd.img
savedefault

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-2-686
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-2-686 root=/dev/hda1 apm=off acpi=on ro
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-2-686
savedefault

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-2-686 (recovery mode)
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-2-686 root=/dev/hda1 apm=off acpi=on ro single
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-2-686
savedefault


On my laptop I also have Sid installed and its grub doesn't do this!

I'd be quite happy if the Default entries were never created as they
are redundant to me.  The update-grub manpage offered no clues.
