Nope...
They may or may not be an os-prober package but when it comes to grub,
os-prober is a script in /etc/grub.d (/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober). If it
is executable, it will add the kernels that it finds to
/boot/grub/grub.cfg when update-grub is run.
I don't like the idea of grub building its .cfg file from bits and
pieces of grub-legacy, or lilo stuff that may live on other
partitions.
So, I let it happen once to build grub.cfg and copied all the stanzas
from other systems to /etc/grub.d/40_custom, modified them to my
liking, deactivated os-prober by making the script in /etc/grub.d/ '-x',
and ran update-grub.
I do the same. All my entries are in 40_custom and 10_linux and
30_os-prober are not executable.
Way to go if you'd rather stay out of trouble.
