As described in my previous comment, this is not a change from GRUB
Legacy. Now that (in Lucid) it's possible to encrypt the password in
grub.cfg, I don't expect to make any further significant changes here.
Creating a properly-locked-down machine involves some steps that are not
appropriate for the default configuration of Ubuntu, and this is one of
them.
** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
