When a password is set, entries that are not marked as --unrestricted require
a password to be entered. This includes submenus : entering them is also
restricted.

However, setting --unrestricted to a submenu command also makes the
menuentries it contains bootable without password.


submenu "Unrestricted submenu" --unrestricted {

        menuentry "Should be restricted but is not" {
                normal
        }
}


The [https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.html#submenu
documentation] is very terse, and it is not possible to infer this behaviour
from it, which I believe is a bug.

In addition, how can I specify a submenu entry to be restricted, without
restricting the submenu itself ?
