Me too.

Thats the correct setting. I treated this as a "feature" and did not
want to change the current behaviour (having the most probably unused
savedefault lines in menu.lst). But now as this fix comes as a "bugfix"
I prefer having it disabled by default. (You might break the
confguration of a handful of users that actually enabled default=saved
manually, but that's an affordable risk.)

Sorry, I noticed your message too late. Just checked: the update-grub
version in svn is fine.

4 more days and it might enter lenny :-)
