There's no "/etc/defaults/" in Ubuntu; or Linux in general.
"GRUB_DEFAULT" is set in "/etc/default/grub". Or, if you don't want to
have to deal with the fact that it's a conffile, you can create
"/etc/default/grub.d/" and override any variable in
"/etc/default/grub" (or set a "grub-mkconfig" variable) by setting it
in "/etc/default/grub.d/*.cfg".
