[Bug 1458549] [NEW] grub-efi-amd64 update fails missing quote

[ssducf]

Public bug reported:

On running normal updates, grub-efi-amd64 failed even though update-grub
and install-grub succeeded when run manually.

After a bit of digging and googling, it turns out that /etc/default/grub
was missing a quote on a line that the updates were trying to edit.


Output generated:
  dpkg: error processing package grub-efi-amd64 (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128


Output expected:
  Either emit a useful error message so this can be fixed, or go ahead and add the quote missing from the line.

Line at fault was:

  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash
