Title:
  grub-reboot does not restore previous default after reboot

Status in GRand Unified Bootloader:
  Unknown
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “grub2” source package in Karmic:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  grub-reboot is currently effectively equivalent to grub-set-default in
  karmic's grub2.

  Because of this bug, grub-reboot in karmic is worse than useless: It
  will not work properly in any configuration and since the standard use
  case for grub-reboot is to reboot a remote server into a non-default
  configuration and be able to fall back to the default ( known working
  ) configuration where the user can fix things via ssh, not restoring
  the default is very likely to cause people to completely lose access
  to remote servers. This has happened at least once that I know of.
