Wait, wait... let's try to clear some points first.
1/ Are you using GRUB legacy or GRUB 2? I already asked you this but you
still have not replied to this question (or I don't remember). It is
important to know what's your GRUB's version as both versions differ a
lot.
2/ "update-grub" is not used to upgrade GRUB legacy to GRUB 2, it's a
routine used to reconciliate/populate the changes you've made in your
menu or configuration files (read "man update-grub" if you need detailed
info on what it does).
3/ Are you running Lenny or Squeeze? Lenny is not supported anymore (no
security patches) so installing lenny -unless you have a specific
requirement for doing so- is a bad move and a waste of time... you should
reconsider getting squeeze instead.
4/ You will have to confront GRUB 2 sooner or later :-)

So you're running Lenny... then sir, I'm sorry to say this but you really
should reconsider reinstalling your full system with squeeze (current
Debian stable) and now that you still have not started to install
packages I'd say is the best time for doing it.
