It used to stay at 0 if that was set, otherwise increment by 1 when adding a 
kernel to the top to make sure the same entry was default if you had set the 
default to your windows entry for dualbooting.

So you're saying the default is changing from 0 to something else for you?  If 
you're saying default stays 0 after the new kernel installed, then the new 
kernel is being added lower in the list than your current kernel?  That would 
definitely be a change from what used to happen.
