Package: grub-installer Version: 1.94 Severity: minor Tags: patch Please add a grub-installer/timeout Debian installer option to change the grub timeout. I want to reduce the grub timeout to 2 seconds without writing a preseed/late_command rules for it. This option is already implemented in Ubuntu's grub-installer package. You might want to adopt their modification. The part of the Ubuntu modification is attached as patch against git head.
