After having a second look: I think the right thing to do would be to remove
this file, however this doesn't work as expected. By default, grub.in defines
a hardcoded path for the GRUB_MENU_LIST option:
${PTXDIST_WORKSPACE}/projectroot/boot/grub/menu.lst

So if the file from projectroot/... is simply removed, the menu.lst from
generic/boot/grub/ is NOT used.

I think this was not the intention (looks like the generic file should be used
if no project specific file is available) but I am not sure how this should be
fixed.

So perhaps the best way is just to patch the local menu.lst file in the
Generic BSP.
