Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub-pc

This concerns grub-pc 1.98-1ubuntu5 in Lucid beta1 (upgrading from
1.98-1ubuntu4).

I have a locally modified /etc/default/grub file. When I upgraded to
this version of grub-pc, I got the "A new version of configuration file
/etc/default/grub is available, but the version installed currently has
been locally modified. What do you want to do about modified
configuration file grub?" question.

The problem is, when I look at the diff, it just shows the differences
between my file, and the way it was originally. In other words, the
upgraded package does not include any updates to this file; its
"pristine" copy of /etc/default/grub is the same as the previous
version's. So I shouldn't even be getting a conffile prompt in the first
place---as far as the administrator is concerned, nothing has changed.
