It was discussed many times here - no USE flags in OE. You'll end up with 2 
grub packages of the same name but with different contents - with menu.lst 
and without.
One of the recent discussions on this topic:

One way to solve it would be to always have menu.lst as a separate package and 
then replace it with your own from the overlay.
