Title:
  /etc/default/grub gone

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I noticed that my system booted without "quiet splash" and that
  /etc/default/grub was gone. I have grub-efi-amd64 and grub2-common
  installed, but not grub-common any more. I did run "apt purge ~c" some
  time before which removed grub-common.

  "sudo cp /usr/share/grub/default/grub /etc/default/grub" restored the
  previous behavior.

  So purging grub-common should not remove /etc/default/grub if
  grub2-common is installed.
