I saw the note about this in the changelog, but can't find many other
signs of it.  My menu.lst doesn't have a savedefault variable (the
changelog says it exists), perhaps because that only appears in newly
generated ones?  And I don't see an indication in README.Debian.gz or
NEWS.Debian.gz about what the implications of using savedefault are.
Beyond the fact that it sometimes breaks, I still don't understand what
the issue is.

It might be helpful to put a few lines in README.Debian, and perhaps the
news too.
