I successful installed the grub2 packages and have a fully booting
system with mdadm, lvm2, ext4 and serial console! (see attachment)
I am very happy with this! Thank you Alexander!
I would suggest moving the packages to the upstream lenny-backports.
# ext4 # lvm2 # mdadm
wget
http://people.debian.org/~formorer/grub2/grub-common_1.98+20100804-4~bpo50+1_amd64.deb
wget
http://people.debian.org/~formorer/grub2/grub-pc_1.98+20100804-4~bpo50+1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i grub-common_1.98+20100804-4~bpo50+1_amd64.deb
apt-get install -t lenny-backports -f
dpkg -i grub-pc_1.98+20100804-4~bpo50+1_amd64.deb
apt-get install -t lenny-backports -f
