So I would have to create the /etc/default/ directory since it does

/etc/defaults/ does exist (with an s at the end).
When I boot, I am presented with

Does /boot/grub/grub.cfg exist?
Does it contain menuentry {...} statements?
Is it accessible from grub shell?
It may be the case that grub-mkconfig does not find the boot partitions.
Then you need to manually add menuentry statements via /etc/grub.d scripts.
but what I wish is to have a graphical login. Simply running
/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig should do this correct?
Not necessarily. It at least requires grub-fonts package and the font
file must be accessible from grub.
So for the packaging I guess I would change grub to look for
/etc/defaults/grub instead of /etc/default/grub
No, /etc/defaults has a different purpose - it provides default versions
(e.g. /etc/defaults/etc/profile) of configurations files (e.g.
/etc/profile).
and also figure out why it does not present a graphical login.
The /etc/default/grub file is not needed because GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT
already defaults to gfxterm and GRUB_FONT_PATH should be correctly set
if grub-fonts package is installed. Please check the generated grub.cfg
file whether it contains a "if loadfont ...; then ... insmod gfxterm;
...fi". block.
