Bug#464086: grub-pc: update-grub should sort rc kernels after released kernels

[Sam Morris]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080203-1
Severity: minor

I noticed a minor regression in grub-pc's update-grub command compared
to the one shipped by grub. In my menu.lst, the entries are arranged in
the following order:

 Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.24-1-686
 Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.24-rc8-686
 Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.23-1-686
 Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-3-k7
 Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-3-486

But in grub.cfg, they are arranged as follows:

 Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.24-rc8-686
 Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.24-1-686
 Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.23-1-686
 Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.22-3-k7
 Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.22-3-486

It would be nice if the final, released image of 2.6.24 was above the
rc8 image.
