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 "
