SLES 12's default GRUB config has the following code before any entries:
if [ -n "$extra_cmdline" ]; then
  submenu "Bootable snapshot #$snapshot_num" {
    menuentry "If OK, run 'snapper rollback' and reboot." { true; }
  }
fi

This prevents pygrub from booting using the default entry. Since I'm not
aware of any distro GRUB config which puts useful entries within
conditionals, ignore them.

I think this has a risk of breaking things, doesn't it ?  I mean,
existing setups might contain `if's and the relevant parts would no
longer be processed.

So I think this isn't a backport candidate.  And really I would like
an alternative, less risky fix, which would be a backport candidate.
Can you think of an alternative approach ?

Thanks,
Ian.
