You will have to edit /etc/grub.d/10_linux if you do not want your
changes in /boot/grub/grub.cfg to be overwritten on every run of
update-grub.
Alternatively, you can edit the line
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
in /etc/default/grub to something like
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Foo Bar"
That will result in a menu entry that looks like
Foo Bar GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.30-1-686
But you could have found that out by yourself by simply reading
/etc/grub.d/10_linux.
