grub's default options hardcoded on each entry instead of defoptions

Bug Description

every single time you update the kernel it adds a boot option for that kernel with "quiet splash"

and the defoptions line has "quiet splash" right there. commented out!

how am I supposed to have every boot without quiet this way?
the workaround I use is to edit menu.lst everytime I have a kernel update and remove the hardcoded options from there.

My defoptions has nosplash. but i don't think i can have noquiet.

please, remove "quiet splash" from ALL linux-image packages and uncomment the defoptions from package grub.

that way, everyone can update their own defoptions only once, without having it overwritten at every kernel update.

The defoptions are commented out but are still applicable as they are not read by grub but by update-grub. Normally you can just change the defoptions line and all entries will follow it at the next update-grub.

If that does not work for you can you include your grub menu.lst please.
