Now I have the next configuratuon of /etc/default/grub:
> GRUB_DEFAULT=2
> GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
> GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""

(which works well with the kernel from official distro but not with the
kernel from bpo).
Do I need exclude "video=LVDS-1:640x480" from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX for
using your config?
And where I need place my record "ipv6.disable=1" - in the string
"GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" of leave it in "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX"?
