Bug Description
When update-grub is run, the settings in menu.lst override the settings in /etc/default/grub. The behaviour I would expect would be that the settings in /etc/default/grub would take precedence otherwise there wouldn't be much point in having the file.
To post a comment you must log in.
Currently, they take precedence when menu.lst is created for the first time, which is probably at install, before you even can have made /etc/default/grub, so yes this is pointless.
Unless you deliberately deletes the old menu.lst before you run update-grub, but that doesn't rhyme withe "update".
