[Bug 1260888] Re: Grub ignores default=saved

[PeterF]

In my case I had the same behaviour, after looking true the grub config
files I found that in the file /etc/grub.d/proxifiedScripts/custom the
"savedefault" is not added. After modifying the file as shown in the
atachment a update-grub2 has the desired result.

I'm sure this is not the place for a fix as I believe the custom file is
generated by the os-prober but this runs not every in update-grub2.
After changing the GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT setting the custom file never
changes.
