[Bug 1247933] [NEW] unable to persist bootloader id

[Shane O'Sullivan]

Public bug reported:

I have more than one install of Ubuntu on my system and in order to
distinguish them in the in the efi boot manager I install them with:
grub-install --bootloader-id="Ubuntu 13.10 - DEV" replacing the
bootloader id with a significant name for that install. However any
update that triggers grub-install does not persist this naming scheme
and returns to the default ubuntu name, making it impossible to
distinguish systems.

** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu)
