'apt-get download <package>' is a good way to get a package and examine
its contents. Nothing is installed and it can be deleted afterwards.
To be pedantic: GRUB2 and GRUB1 don't exist in Debian. They don't really
exist under those names on the GNU website either or in the
documentation. It is GRUB or GRUB-legacy. People like harking back to a
time long past though.
