[ale] GRUB, LILO, and Ubuntu: Google fails me today. :-(

Okay, so I made a bad choice and installed my system originally with XFS
on everything, which GRUB does not like, so Ubuntu's installer suggested
that I go with LILO.  And so, I did.

Except, I hate LILO, and so I moved to GRUB and created an ext3fs /boot
partition.  Alright, so I would think.  However, the system does not
update the GRUB configuration when a new kernel is installed now, and
this is kind of sucky.  :-/

Searching on Google has told me that there are "hook scripts" that get
executed, but not how they are registered to execute or anything like
that.  Does apt-get run the script?  dpkg?  The package itself?

Anyway, does anyone know how I would tell the system to
run /sbin/update-grub when a new kernel is installed, so that I do not
have to think to do it manually?

    Thanks!
    Mike
