I see the /etc/default is the right place to remember such an option. However, all the other files in there just set options, e.g.

  UPPERCASE_OPTION=foo

So putting an actual command line in is a new paradigm. That could be OK, but it is new. You could instead have grub-install read an environment variable:

  OPTIONS="--ignore-stage1_5"

or maybe more specifically:

  IGNORE_STAGE1_5=true

It probably doesn't really matter. I am thinking more about whether more options or variations might want to be set there in the future. The options might be a bit more complicated, and may not be so easily sourced as just giving an alternate command line.
