Do you think it's feasible to add a variable that the upstream scripts don't use? Also, after thinking about it, I'm concerned that if we allow disabling autorun of update-grub, we won't be able to support changes in the grub.cfg specification sanely (e.g. users will update grub without updating grub.cfg and break their systems). Also, we will receive less input from new features that *are* intended to be default, and so have less chances to fix them if they're buggy (like here). And note that users are already able to add their custom stuff via /etc/grub.d, just not remove the base lines. I propose that we add a variable to select terminal, so that user can disable this feature altogether if he wants.
