Some of you may already know that setting up grub-legacy on Debian can be imposable,

Imposable ? What would impose it ?

Debian grub-legacy setup is no longer supported, yet it can still be install so you can get a readable menu when you upgrade the kernel.

That sounds contradictory with "imposable". Did you mean "impossible" ?

One question : why use GRUB legacy ?

I multi-boot 20 installed .deb systems on the computer is the reason why.

So what ? Can't GRUB 2 handle 20 different systems ?

One suggestion : upgrade.

Not an option, I would be screwing with a grub config file that's not designed to be readable by man

Even though, grub.cfg is perfectly readable by man when you're used to it. I am a man and I can read it.

and with 20 systems just updating grub-pc is unnecessary time consuming. If I was running one or two systems grub-pc would be fine but even my laptops have 5 or more systems installed.

You don't have to use the auto-generated grub.cfg. You can write and maintain your own one manually.
