[Touch-packages] [Bug 1901828] [NEW] upgrade modifies /etc/default/grub inappropriately

Public bug reported: If I have: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset" in /etc/default/grub, boot hangs with "Failed to start Light Display Manager". No problem, I delete the line and run update-grub. However, running apt upgrade sometimes appends the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset" to /etc/default/
