Bug#708181: Workaround

[Kim Rydhof Thor Hansen]

I was also bitten by this bug, the problem it that the default
behaviour for menus with no security defined has changed from being
unrestricted to being restricted if some users are defined.

My workaround is to make the "Simple" default selection unrestricted like this:
root at mich:/etc/grub.d# hg diff
diff -r 5132058ad651 grub.d/10_linux

   fi
   if [ "$quick_boot" = 1 ]; then
       echo "    recordfail" | sed "s/^/$submenu_indentation/"
root at mich:/etc/grub.d#

It would be nice if there was a way to do that by defining a variable
in a config file that isn't updated often.
