grub (0.97-29ubuntu4) gutsy; urgency=low
* debian/update-grub: replace Ubuntu with lsb_release if possible
(LP: #83690, #19040)
* debian/update-grub: on upgrades, set the new savedefault option
to "true" if the user was using "default saved" (LP: #131858)
-- Tormod Volden <[EMAIL PRO
Here is a debdiff for only this bug, in case the fix for bug #83690 is
not accepted.
It is most important that the bug fix here comes into Gutsy, since it
fixes a potential issue when upgrading from Feisty.

I realize I was ambiguous in comment 3, I was talking about
#savedefault= options, and not "savedefault" boot flags in the kernel
entries. It should read:
I made a quick patch, which will set the #savedefault= option to "true"
if the user has "default saved" and not yet has any #savedefault=
setti
Yes, that's how I intended it to be: Everybody should have a
#savedefault= line, and it should default to "false", except if the user
already uses "default saved" at the time this new option is introduced.
If there's already a #savedefault= line, it won't be touched.
You will only get savedefault

(Every time I look inside the Frankenstein of all scripts that is
update-grub, I hope it will be the last.)
I made a quick patch, which will set the savedefault to true if the user
have "default saved" and not yet has any #savedefault= setting in his
menu.lst. This will work on upgrades from Feist

Ahhh, I get it.

Well, the new setting is more logical, since adding "savedefault" only
makes sense if the user has specified "default saved" in menu.lst, in
which case the user is already sophisticated and can turn on the
savedefault option as well.
The old setting would leave many set-ups broken (see bug referen
