Sounds good. I would also use grub as the default. We do it already
in Skolelinux.

GRUB need to install automatically using the grub-installer udeb. I
believe only bug #219833 is blocking this at the moment.
I suggest that grub-installer should be co-maintained by the grub
maintainers. This would make it easier to make sure the d-i part is
in sync with the grub part. The packages might even be built from the
same source, if you want that. What do you think?
