I don't know so much how the "new beast" (GRUB2) works, but if "man
update-grub¹" is right, it will detect all the "vmlinuz" files that are
under the "/boot" partition, not sure if this condition fits in your case.
I guess there are still situations where a manual edition of GRUB2 menu
is required (i.e., bootloader chainloading).
