I am trying to have GRUB boot an entry different from the default one 
time(like "lilo -R").

By executing the command "setdefault --default=1 --once", the system 
will boot the 2nd entry on all subsequent bootups (not only on the next 
boot).

I am aware that the patch once existed in the Debian package.  From the 
looks of it, it also seems as though the patch was reverted.

Is any similar feature going to be re-incorporated into the Debian 
package any time soon?

Thanks!
