grub: GetMenuOpt does not preserve blank entries

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-11ubuntu14
Severity: normal


I use "defoptions=" in menu.lst.  GetMenuOpt does not preserve this.
First, the -z will bail due to the empty string.  If I have
"defoptions= ", it will work as expected during the first run, except
that the echo does not preserve the space, causing the next
consecutive run to use the default "quiet splash" options.
