FYI, the default actually comes from src:kexec-tools:

cat debian/kexec-tools.grub 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT crashkernel=384M-:128M"

which, in and of itself, seems odd as if you only install kexec-tools,
you've now reserved some system memory for kdump.

And if you remove/purge kexec-tools, crashkernel= seems to stick around
:)

Title:
  Failure to dump with trusty+3.16 on ppc64el

Status in makedumpfile package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Test case
  # sudo apt-get install linux-crashdump

  set USE_KDUMP=1 in /etc/default/kdump-tools

  # sudo shutdown -r now

  echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
  echo c | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger

  It looks like there was insufficient memory devoted to the crash
  kernel.  The defaults were used, and the kernel had 256G of ram, and
  only 2.6G were in use at the time of inducing the crash.
