Bug Description
To protect my Ubuntu systems I have installed a GRUB password on them.
I added the lock option to each recovery instance of the kernel because it would mean instant-root.
The problems is that each kernel update calls update-grub which removes the locks and makes the recovery option public again.

I tried setting lockalternatives to true and it works at first, but it also gets overwritten by update-grub.
It's easier then adding several lock options though.
