It's just the standard overwriting of configuration files during
upgrade. Apt normally warns if the new version differs from the old
and asks which you want to keep, but it's not always a simple decision
and sometimes keeping the old file causes the program itself not to
work.
There is an etc/default/grub.d, which by analogy with other xxxx.d
directories, can contain user overrides which are not touched by
upgrades, but I made a quick attempt here which failed and I didn't
have time to mess around with it. I can't find an example of doing it
correctly on the Net, which is surprising, all the references I find
are just for /etc/default/grub. Maybe someone here knows the right way?
