Bug Description
Since the fix for bug 901600 was commited, setting in /etc/default/grub now can be overiden by /etc/default/
I've lost an hour trying to understand why grub ignores my GRUB_TIMEOUT settings, until I found hostile file 50-cloudimg-
I understand that changing this behaviour, may break a lot of code. So please at least add BIG RED BANNER to /etc/default/grub with warning: before changing something in the file, check all the files in /etc/default/grub.d for conflicting settings, because they have higher precedence.
