Debian and Ubuntu's grub2 is co-installable with grub1 (with grub1
installed to the MBR and chainloading grub2). The grub2-* commands are
Fedora-isms; it looks like the Fedora maintainer renames the commands
(I haven't installed it for a while but the last time that I tested
it, running some commands with "--help" gave the standard grub-*
output) and packages it for it to be available in the repos (not a
criticism, just an observation).

Fedora's generally at the cutting edge of just about every package so
I don't understand its attitude towards grub2. It's been Ubuntu's
default for a year and it'll be Debian's default for its next stable
release (early next year?!) so it's not a question of reliability,
stability, or usability. F15?
