What you want to do is not so much "remove grub" as "install some
other MBR". You could install LILO, GRUB, or the MBR from the 'mbr'
package to get a new MBR. I think the Debian installer will also
offer to install LILO for you at the end of its install sequence,
which will overwrite your GRUB bits.
