Hi,
user-params passes options given to the installer kernel so that grub
has them too.
However, in the case of the brltty option, this shouldn't be done,
because the brltty-udeb package scripts already pass these options into
/target/etc/brltty.conf. Worse than that actually, the grub options
would take precedence over the brltty.conf options, so that the user
ends up with a no-effect configuration file.
So user-params should not pass the brltty= option, the joined working
patch fixes that.
