Title:
  Unattended "apt-get dist-upgrade -qq --force-yes" on 14.04 fails on
  grub configuration.

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Unattended "apt-get dist-upgrade -qq --force-yes" on 14.04 fails on
  Grub configuration.

  Reproduce by using  "apt-get dist-upgrade -qq --force-yes" on the
  latest Ubuntu 14.04 image (https://cloud-
  images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/). It will not select grub defaults
  ("install the package maintainer's version") during upgrade. Setup
  will prompt the user for input.

  This is a new behavior (for me, since Ubuntu 6). It breaks
  automatic/scripted setup of servers.
