Package: grub
Followup-For: Bug #241899

This is probably just a misunderstanding that happened to me as well.
"info (grub.info.gz)terminal" has the following text about the
timeout:

======================================================================
If both `console' and `serial' are specified, then GRUB will use the
one where a key is entered first or the first when the timeout
expires.
======================================================================

I mistook timeout to be the timeout set with the `timeout' command and
only got it right when reading this bugreport.  I propose to change
the text as follows:

======================================================================
If both `console' and `serial' are specified, then GRUB will use the
one where a key is entered first or the first when the timeout (set
with `--timeout') expires.
======================================================================

Or document `--timeout' explicitly just like the other options.
