I just found out today there is grub-builtin to solve this issue.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system
## can be true or false
# updatedefaultentry=true
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

with this setting the line:
default         2

gets updated to match the previous selected Default entry after
installing a new kernal automatically again.  ;)
