  oh ok, have used syslinux .

Saw the binary.list as well and saw these grub packages listed :-

http://live-build.debian.net/build/20110210.073504.798054717/binary.list

/pool/main/g/grub/grub_0.97-64_i386.deb
/pool/main/g/grub2
/pool/main/g/grub2/grub-common_1.98+20100804-14_i386.deb
/pool/main/g/grub2/grub-pc_1.98+20100804-14_i386.deb

Although curious as to why both 0.97 and 1.98 have been chosen ?
