I think you're looking for a splash image for Grub. You can use the
'splashimage' command in menu.lst to specify one, and there is a
grub-splashimages package in both sarge and sid:

Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: admin
Installed-Size: 360
Maintainer: Grub-Devel List <pkg-grub-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>

Description: a collection of great GRUB splashimages
This package contains a collection of splashimages which can be used
for GRUB. If you'd like your splashimage in this package send them
