I believe the issue is even easier to solve. I simply need to run 
'linux-boot-prober' (in the same package as os-prober, it seems I am 
blinded) on the partition for which the 'linux' boot keyword is reported 
and interpret it's output. Expect more work on this next week. I am 
sorry I cannot test my script drafts, because I have no other *nix 
besides Debian on my machine (the first of The Ten Commandments). ;)

Cheers,
