OK, found it.

That's OK then.

Me neither. Here's a debug output:

Configuring grub-pc
-------------------

The following Linux command line was extracted from /etc/default/grub or the 
`kopt' parameter in GRUB Legacy's menu.lst.  Please verify that it is correct, 
and modify it if necessary.

Linux command line: 
---8<-------------------------------------------------------------------

So the value is extracted correctly from /etc/default/grub but is then not 
used when the question is asked. I'm not familiar enough with debconf to
solve the problem, but if you need any more information or want me some more
tests to run, I'm happy to help.

Cheers,
