Public bug reported:
We've moved to using GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden in /etc/default/grub, but
debian/postinst.in still references GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT variable and
attempts to set that in conffile handling:
case @PACKAGE@ in
grub-pc)
apply_conf_tweaks "$conf_files" merge_debconf_into_conf GRUB_TIMEOUT
grub-pc/timeout
apply_conf_tweaks "$conf_files" sed_conf
's/^(GRUB_TIMEOUT=)"([0-9][0-9]*)"/\1\2/'
db_get grub-pc/hidden_timeout
if [ "$RET" = false ]; then
apply_conf_tweaks "$conf_files" sed_conf 's/^GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=/#&/'
fi
;;
This may lead to confusion in grub's conffile handling and in the resulting
/etc/default/grub, potentially leading to unnecessary debconf/ucf prompts for
conffile changes.
