in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See

bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Title:
  Allow /etc/default/grub overriding via /etc/default/grub.d/

  Fix Released
Status in “grub2” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed
Status in “grub2” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact] Various customised images have upgrade problems because they don't have a way to add grub-mkconfig configuration without editing /etc/default/grub directly.
  [Test Case] Check that setting something in /etc/default/grub.d/new-file.cfg affects grub-mkconfig, e.g. by setting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and checking that update-grub causes it to be passed through to /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
  [Regression Potential] I think the main thing is to make sure that nothing goes wrong when /etc/default/grub.d/ is missing.

  Original report follows:

  It would be good to be able to keep the settings in /etc/default/grub
  pristine, and allow overides via /etc/grub.d/.

  The one of most interest is:
  GRUB_DEFAULT=0 -> GRUB_DEFAULT=saved

  Thanks.
