Hi. It's 2016 now and this is still a problem in Xenial! Can someone
look at this?

Title:
  grub-installer ignores grub2/linux_cmdline_default in preseed

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub-installer

  Description:    Ubuntu 10.04
  Release:        10.04

  When automatically installing a system with a preseed file, grub-
  installer seems to ignore settings for grub2/linux_cmdline_default.

  I have tried the following two lines in my preseed file, but none of
  them worked:

  grub-pc grub2/linux_cmdline_default string
  d-i grub2/linux_cmdline_default string

  
  When running `debconf-get-selections` on the newly installed system, the output still contains:

  grub-pc grub2/linux_cmdline_default     string  quiet splash

  
  This seems to be an error (or at least an undocumented nuisance) of grub-installer ignoring the settings in the preseed file.
