I'm quite sure they are not stored, but regenerated on each 
'update-grub'. It might be that the names are influenced by some 
variable that can be set in /etc/default/grub, but from my experience 
the documentation needs improving in this area. AFAICT the only 
documentation we have now is the source as shell scripts.
