Public bug reported:

When trying to add GRUB_EARLY_INITRD_LINUX_CUSTOM options in
/etc/default/grub the resulting grub.cfg become invalid

For example by adding

GRUB_EARLY_INITRD_LINUX_CUSTOM="acpi_override"

Result:
```
	initrd	/boot/ acpi_override initrd.img-5.8.0-050800-generic
```

Expected: 
```
	initrd	/boot/acpi_override /boot/initrd.img-5.8.0-050800-generic

```

When comparing 10_linux script with other distro (Manjaro) it seems that
the Ubuntu version doesn't account for multiple initrd
