Thanks so much for doing this!!!

Here is the bug report for customizing multiple kernel entries:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=470398#10

And here is the proposed patch:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=altoptions.patch;att=1;bug=470398

Have a nice day!

It has been now fixed to disable the single user entry.
The variable is called GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true"

I don't know why you say that the 2nd Debian bug report contains a patch to include full support for multiple kernel entrys with different options.
There isn't any in the Debian bug report.

Why is it invalid?
Thanks.

There is a patch that allows to have multiple kernel entries with arbitrary options:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=470398
Incorporating that patch or another that does a similar thing would be awesome.
Thanks.

There is a patch that allows to set a variable (GRUB_NOSINGLE_LINUX) in /etc/default/grub so that single-user menu entries are not generated if undesired.
This is located in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=476536 .
Thanks for looking into it!
