Public bug reported:
Since the fix for bug 901600 was commited, setting in /etc/default/grub
now can be overiden by /etc/default/grub.d. It helps developers to make
customized images, but it can really blows up the brain to the rest
users.
I've lost an hour trying to understand why grub ignores my GRUB_TIMEOUT
settings, until I found hostile file 50-cloudimg-settings.cfg, that
silently overrides my setting. I think such behaviour violates simple
principle — user settings must have the higest precedence.
I understand that changing this behaviour, may break a lot of code. So
please at least add BIG RED BANNER to /etc/default/grub with warning:
before changing something in the file, check all the files in
/etc/default/grub.d for conflicting settings, because they have higher
precedence.
