If you chose to keep your version of menu.lst, this is not a "failure".
It's doing what you told it to.

The bug here is that currently, it's very hard to go back and change your
mind after telling update-grub to do this; but you only see this prompt in
the first place because you're working against update-grub by not using its
kernel stanza autogeneration support. If you set your variables where
update-grub looks for them, there's no reason for you to get a conflict at
all.
