I don't either, since I don't use Grub, so I checked.
carlf@nitpicking:~$ dpkg -s grub

Description: GRand Unified Bootloader
GRUB is a GPLed bootloader intended to unify bootloading across x86
operating systems. In addition to loading the Linux kernel,
it implements the Multiboot standard, which allows for flexible
loading of multiple boot images (needed for modular kernels such as the
GNU Hurd).
So Sarge (which I'm running) has version 0.94, and judging by the snapshot
date it's the newest version.
If you're using one of the front ends to apt/dpkg (e.g. dselect, aptitude)
it would also tell you the version number.
If THAT isn't possible for some reason, you could go to packages.debian.org
and search for grub in the Sarge distribution, and the web page would tell
you.
(Does anyone else have a tendency to type "grup" instead of "grub"?
