You *did* have an /etc/default/grub at the time; it just contained some trash. There is a difference between what is in your MBR and what packages you have installed. You had the grub-pc package installed, which provides the file /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub, which causes the kernel to update it when it is upgraded.
