consistently inconsistent

So the fine engineers over at SUSE apparently decided that the formatting & layout of /boot/grub/menu.lst could change whenever they felt like. In SUSE-10.x, they consistently had "default 0". Yet for reasons that completely boggle my mind they've just got "default" (without the zero). Functionally speaking the two are identical, but for anyone trying to automate or script things based off of the GRUB configuration, its a bloody nightmare. So now I have to sed the stupid menu.lst during the installation just to bring it back in line.
And don't even get my started on the utter pointlessness of the LSB. Its stuff like this that the LSB should be controlling, not whether KDE ends up buried under /usr or /opt.
