Public bug reported:
In /etc/default/grub are two variables that enable customization of
kernel options : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT for non-recovery entries and
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX for all entries (both recovery and non-recovery).
It is not possible to specify kernel options to be used for recovery
entries but not regular ones, which in my case is problematic as
modesetting parameters are at a contradiction in those cases.
I propose that the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_RECOVERY variable would allow to
do so. This requires exporting this variable in the grub-mkconfig
script, so that it can be read by the 10_linux script.
There, I propose to keep the usual behaviour when the variable has not
been set, and to completely eschew it when the variable is set.
I am reporting here as it appears that upstream grub 10_linux does not
have a mechanism for recovery entries at all, so I think it is Ubuntu
specific.
