IMHO it's important to consider how triggers would handle a situation
such as an apt run that removed the running kernel added a new kernel,
and then failed. In this case, the grub trigger might not run, which
would leave a menu.lst that contained only a nonexistent kernel.

(This is also potentially a problem with the initramfs-tools triggers, I
guess..)

Note that ubuntu has triggerised grub; I don't know how/if they deal
with that case.
