Thank you for the update.

If I'm not wrong, this would make it easier for end-users to "tweak"
permissions if you don't put a password on the grub menu entries (which
you should do anyway, as otherwise unprivileged users could be dropped
to a root shell)

I know it's a bit of security-through-obscurity and is certainly less
flexible, but I think it might be safer to have the desired permissions
hard-coded in the initramfs.  Perhaps I'm worng/misguided.  Wouldn't be
the first time.

Anyway, either way it does the job.  It'd be just fantastic if there was
a nice little GUI that would do this for you (or at least documentation,
which I guess is what this is now.)  Alas, I'm not volunteering to do
it.  This workaround was my best effort.
