Hi infodroid, Steve, I'm using Debian Lenny and came across the same issue. My reason for wanting to lock the default boot option is simple: I'm using a Debian system as base for a firewall. I don't want some cracker installing an exploit, requiring a reboot to be activated. Better having no unattended upgrades than unattendedly being exploited :-) Of course not all exploits require a reboot for activation, but this limits at least a subset of them.
Btw: update-grub in Lenny still silently discards any manually added lock statement in the automagic kernel section.
