Public bug reported:
debconf stored parameters in configdb are ignored by /var/lib/dpkg/info
/grub-pc.config at 'dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive grub-pc'
Instead of apply configdb parameters (that are stored there before) the
script in /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.config unconditionally updates them
with parameters extracted from /etc/default/grub
The intended behaviour in this case I suppose to extract parameters from
configdb or any other source and set them to their defaults or any
desired value, to be used in /etc/default/grub , but the script does
exactly the opposite: overwrites source data. Then, debconf uses
configdb to apply these "new" old parameters again, and as a result I
have configdb wiped with values from /etc/default/grub, and
/etc/default/grub itself stays unchanged.
So the consequence this behaviour has two penalties: original
configuration data (a source) wiped out, actual grub config (target)
stays unchanged.
I have placed 'exit 0' at the beginning of this script and all things
became right - /etc/default/grub updated, debconf database holds
intended data.
