The analysis here is incorrect. The previous SRU affected the generation of /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but it did *not* touch /etc/default/grub, which is what the ucf prompt on upgrade is about. Reverting the SRU not only won't fix the issue, it most likely will cause the same issue *again* for affected users on upgrade.

I'm looking now to try to figure out why ucf is prompting here. It *shouldn't*, because there are no changes to the ucf template between the old and new versions of the package; so the fact that there is a prompt points to a bug in the ucf invocation, a bug in ucf, or a bug in the AMI having messed with ucf's internals inappropriately.
