Debian Package Update Menu?



Hi All: In the past while running upgrades in SID, if there were an item where I needed to choose among installing a maintainers version or keeping mine, the menu showed letter combinations-and-explained what would happen. Well, now the menu is numeric-and-I am not sure actually typing 1 of these numbers will do any good. Here is what I heard
Setting up grub-efi-amd64-bin (2.06-11) ...
Setting up grub2-common (2.06-11) ...
Setting up grub-efi-amd64 (2.06-11) ...
Configuring grub-efi-amd64
--------------------------

A new version (/tmp/grub.BX3nL13UF5) of configuration file /etc/default/grub is available, but the version installed currently has been locally modified.

1. install the package maintainer's version 3. show the differences between the versions 5. show a 3-way difference between available versions 7. start a new shell to examine the situation 2. keep the local version currently installed 4. show a side-by-side difference between the versions 6. do a 3-way merge between available versions What do you want to do about modified configuration file grub? Back again live: I wanted to keep my own, number 2 was highlighted, so I mashed enter. But even those numbers were in a lopsided order. Please consider a better solution. Thanks in advance
Chime
