The obvious way to do this seems to be to have grub-installer put the
output of user-params in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX or
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT (as appropriate) in /etc/default/grub.
That file is currently a dpkg-managed conffile, though. Do people feel
that this constitutes an intentional sysadmin change to the point where
having the installer automatically modify a conffile is acceptable? (I
think it's borderline; if it would be very inconvenient to make it not
be a dpkg-managed conffile I think it would be acceptable.)
