I have MacBook here :-)
FYI:
* Even for lenny d-i as I checked just before release
Normal MBR system (amd64/i386): grub (GRUB 1)
MacBook EFI system (amd64/i386): grub-pc (GRUB 2)
* squeeze d-i
Both are grub-pc (GRUB 2).
Early lenny testing d-i chose grub (GRUB 1) and I had to chose manually
lilo to get it installed and going.
