If you have the kernel-image installed, just run "update-grub" to add it
to the grub boot menu.  To make dpkg do this for you when installing
kernel images, add the following lines to your /etc/kernel-img.conf file:

postinst_hook = /sbin/update-grub
postrm_hook = /sbin/update-grub
do_bootloader = no

All of this is documented in /usr/share/doc/grub/README.Debian.gz .
