Hi,

Since two updates grub-pc adds gfxpayload=keep to every linux-menu-entry
changing
configuration settings declared above in grub.cfg
There is no changelog to this and probably 10_linux is not the right
place to change theme
related things. I guess the following lines in 10_linux are responsible:
  # Use ELILO's generic "efifb" when it's known to be available.
  # FIXME: We need an interface to select vesafb in case efifb can't be
used.
  if grep -qx "CONFIG_FB_EFI=y" /boot/config-${version} 2> /dev/null ; then
    cat << EOF
        set gfxpayload=keep
EOF
  fi

If this cannot be changed, it would be nice to allow configuration in
/etc/default/grub.

Best regards,
Elmar
