Until I see some reliable documentation of these two settings, I'll
maintain that they'll be discarded and the above is equivalent to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="".

You might also want to set "GRUB_TERMINAL=console" in
"etc'default/grub" and run "update-grub".

Theoretically, set "START_IN_INITRAMFS=true" and "RUN_BRLTTY=yes" in
"/etc/default/brltty" and run "update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r)".
