Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub
I started a thread at ubuntuforums.org first, please see:

Discussions went round and round... finally tried viewing the contents of file: "cat (hdX,Y)
Since conversation has ceased in the forum, opening a bug report against what we have encountered.
We have loaded several systems with Ubuntu 9.10 dual-boot, want to configure all of them to utilize "saved" last boot choice. Then only way I have found to get a different default than Ubuntu is to force the default to be Windows and that does work.

summary: |
- Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 DEFAULT=saved, Last boot = Windows, Grub comes up - defaulting to Ubuntu + The GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT option for grub2 is missing from /etc/defaults/grub + [needed for saving last selection as default] |
A view of the grubenv file showing Windows is the OS remembered, yet the top choice of Linux is selected.
