I found something interesting:

After adding the kernel-option all_generic_ide in the menu.lst to make this boot style persistent, I ran update-grub.

Here, I've been notified that if I want to keep the maintainer's version, or mine - the proposal was to keep mine.
Looking at the diff's it seems as the so-called maintainer version contained "all_generic_ide option.

I vaguely remember that after some of the upgrades last week I have seen that question before, but chosen the default "keep own version" without looking at what the maintainer's version had to offer.
(BTW, the menu.lst wasn't really changed).

Don't know how to classify this bug and what to do against it - definitely I'd expect a product bought with Ubuntu by a large manufacturer to have a better tested upgrade process to newer versions.
