Hi Alberto, speaking as a packager and a Linux distribution maintainer, I do not agree with such a change: 1) I would not make an assumption like "if os-prober is installed, there are several OS" nor that os-prober should be enabled in that case. 2) More generally it is to the package maintainer or local admin what to include by default in /etc/default/grub and up to the user to customize it. 3) In case a distribution does not include grub, I would expect a user wanting to install it to read "info grub" and edit /etc/default grub as he or she sees fit.
