That's practically the caption of my career.  :D

I ended up doing the former.  Lacking a better name I just defined it as 
an internal parameter:

  PARAMETER_INT(roll_lb)

Which is only referenced in escp2_set_remote_sequence():

      if (stp_check_int_parameter(pv, "escp2_roll_lb", STP_PARAMETER_ACTIVE))
       stp_send_command(v, "LB", "bccc", 0, 1,
                        stp_get_int_parameter(pv, "escp2_roll_lb"));

And in the paper definition:

  <parameter type="integer" name="escp2_roll_lb">0x32</parameter>

It seems to work okay.
