Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub2
During a server upgrade with 'do-release-upgrade -d' from maverick to natty the user is prompted by debconf to update grub-pc the configuration file /etc/default/grub. But it was a fresh installation of maverick and the original configuration has not been changed before the upgrade.

During 'do-release-upgrade -d' I saw two prompts:
* one from 'libc6.postinst' mentioning restarting of sshd/telnetd
* one for grub /etc/grub/default
heres the diff I was provided with for /etc/grub/default from the existing to new:
