Bug Description
Thanks to bug 901600 and SRU to 12.04, we now no longer have to modify /etc/default/grub in the cloud-image build process.
That modification has caused a fair amount of fallout (usually wrt upgrading grub).
It would be nice to not do that any more.
Basically, lines 219 to ~ 260 [1] can be modified for precise or greater to not modify that file but add a /etc/default/
