Bug#630997: grub-common:set gfxpayload=keep should be configureable in /etc/default/grub or set by default

Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100804-14
Severity: wishlist

In some configurations with plymouth it is desirable to have "set
gfxpayload=keep" after
the grub gfx-mode has been set.

I would like to have "set gfxpayload=keep" added bei default (see configuration
file attached)
or an option in /etc/default/grub that enables this setting.
