Title:
  change to /etc/default/grub causes prompt on grub-pc upgrade

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  In the build of the UEC images, I modify /etc/default/grub so that the
  grub menu is shown on first boot (rather than hidden).

  On a grub-pc upgrade, the user is then forced to merge the diffs of that file.  The changes are made at [1].
  The diff is basically:

   │ -#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
   │ +GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
  ..
   │ -GRUB_TERMINAL=console
   │ +#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
