Bug#980367: grub-common: disregards settings in /etc/default/grub

[Norbert Preining]

Package: grub-common
Version: 2.04-12
Severity: critical
X-Debbugs-Cc: norbert at preining.info

Hi

I am not sure when it happened, but it seems that grub started to ignore
settings in /etc/default/grub, despite /etc/grub.d/README referring to
it, and pervious versions correctly used it.

I have to add additional boot parameters which I add via
	GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="<my-options>"
but those are not ending up anymore in /boot/grub/grub.cfg

There is also not explanation what should be done otherwise.

Since this breaks booting on my system, I set it to critical.

Best

Norbert
