Shared /boot in this form is not supported in this form. Make /boot a symlink into directory of separate GRUB partitions

Hi,
I would like to report a bug with separated partition , usually I've been using non separted  partition and one GNU/Linux + Win  and was no problem  even if was more OS's .  Nowadays I am using several GNU /Linux's  and GRUB is being placed on separated partition . And the problem is that when i install Debian next other distribution  Grub is getting crazy with appending configuration to grub.cfg .
Partitions /dev/sda :
sda                         
├─sda3                      
├─sda5  ext4   Empty_space  
├─sda6  ntfs   Universal    
├─sda7  swap   Swap           [SWAP]
├─sda8  ext4   Dane           /media/Dane
├─sda9  ext4   /home/smieszek /home
├─sda10 ext4   /              /
├─sda11 ext4                  /boot
└─sda12 xfs    Kubuntu
And after repair Grub couse Ubuntu installs Grub by default and erases content so after recover vmlinux and initrd of Debian , Grub attributes  wrong image and wrong partitions  to wrong entries e.g :

menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.11.6-4-default (on /dev/sda10)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
    insmod part_msdos
    insmod ext2
    set root='(hd0,msdos8)'
    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 1ec197f4-9c05-4d64-85b9-
c9e77225b0dc
    linux /vmlinuz-3.11.6-4-default root=UUID=e9d39c6c-1e5c-458f-80f4-831e8da3c16e ro quiet
    initrd /initrd-3.11.6-4-default
and this is lie because "/" of Debian is placed on different partition in this case "/dev/sda5"  and initrd should be 3.2* not >3.2.*
And also grub mixes the entries when i give update-grub it sees "Kubuntu" but do not write it into a grub.cfg
"grub-pc                                       1.99-27+deb7u2  "
