[Bug 1569567] Re: Running update-grub does not update /boot/grub/grub.cfg with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT from /etc/default/grub

[Martin Widmark]

I also installed ubuntu 18.04.1 server from an usb stick (ubuntu-18.04.1
-live-server-amd64.iso). So not using MAAS or anything like that. Still
I had a /etc/default/grub.d/50-curtin-settings.cfg that messed up my my
settings from /etc/default/grub. maas or curtin is not installed.

I must say this can't seriously be expected behavior, can it?
