Binary package hint: grub-pc

This concerns grub-pc 1.98-1ubuntu5 in Lucid beta1 (upgrading from 1.98-1ubuntu4).

I have a locally modified /etc/default/grub file. When I upgraded to this version of grub-pc, I got the "A new version of configuration file /etc/default/grub is available, but the version installed currently has been locally modified. What do you want to do about modified configuration file grub?" question.

The problem is, when I look at the diff, it just shows the differences between my file, and the way it was originally. In other words, the upgraded package does not include any updates to this file; its "pristine" copy of /etc/default/grub is the same as the previous version's. So I shouldn't even be getting a conffile prompt in the first place---as far as the administrator is concerned, nothing has changed.
