Since 2.02~beta2-18 Debian introduced a "quick_boot.patch" from Ubuntu, which allows for the bypass of boot menu. Quoting from its commit message:

> If other operating systems are installed, then automatically unhide the menu.

This default is unhelpful as it overrides the manual definitions for GRUB_MENU_STYLE set in /etc/default/grub and provides no means of disabling besides manually editing the file in question, i.e. "/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober" or "util/grub.d/30_os-prober.in" in the source code. To add to the confusion, this default remains largely undocumented besides the commit message.

Please consider making it configurable or phasing out this default behavior. Such overriding decisions should be explicitly called for in config files like /etc/default/grub instead of riding on the top of the user's head.
