Bug#651106: grub-pc: Windows XP partition assigned wrong root partition

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99-14
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
For some time now - all the updates to the grub-pc package in the last year or
two - my Win XP partition is detected, but it is given the wrong menu entry:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_otheros ###
# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS
# on /dev/sde1
menuentry "Windows XP Media Center Edition" {
set root=(hd0,0)
chainloader +1
}
### END /etc/grub.d/30_otheros ###
... this should be (hd0,1). I can edit grub.cfg manually and it works fine,
but every time the package is updated, grub.cfg is regenerated and it is
detected incorrectly again.
Happy to provide further info and/or run tests.
Regards,
Chris
