According to aptitude show, the default in Lenny is GRUB version 
0.97-47lenny2, simply called GRUB.  If you want GRUB 2 you have to ask for 
grub-pc.  :

Description: GRand Unified Bootloader (Legacy version)
 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).

 Please note that GRUB Legacy is in maintainance mode and new features are 
only accepted in
 GRUB 2 (grub-pc package).
