On extlinux we also get older boot entries but not in a submenu. I plan
to add submenu support in a new serie.

I'll mention that this is true for all supported bootloaders when this
will be done.

Nope, as Danny stated, the bootloader in not reinstalled, but the conf
file is updated. I'll add this info to the doc.

Thanks,
