Bug#543807: customizing /etc/default/grub

[jidanni at jidanni.org]

reopen 543807
thanks.

Nope.
Every time grub-pc gets an upgrade,
the user will get the Q&A session.

There is just no substitute for an official e.g.,
a=/root/grub.local.sh; test -f $a && . $a
in /etc/default/grub

Go ahead and do as I do,
add that line to the bottom of /etc/default/grub and then in
put

GRUB_TERMINAL=console
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet panic=15"
case $(hostname) in
    *1) GRUB_TIMEOUT=45;;
    *) GRUB_TIMEOUT=11;;
esac
# Local Variables:
# compile-command: "update-grub && grub-install /dev/hda"
# End:

you will notice that each upgrade, you will be struggling to defeat the
over helpful auto-detection etc. mechanisms, etc....
