Have you tried the simple trick of using `grub-imageboot`?
I.e. after installing the package, put the .iso file into
/boot/images and dong `update-grub`.
It's bit hit or miss for me (used it for Thinkpad BIOS upgrades), but
I always managed to make it work in the end (sometimes after cobbling
up my own .iso out of various other .iso, not knowing quite what I was
doing).
