This is Debian's upgrade-mechanism for Grub.  It sets up grub1 to give 
you the option of either:

1. Chainloading grub2, so that you can verify that it works correctly, 
and then issue the command to remove grub1, an just-use grub2 if you're 
happy with it, or in case there's some problem with grub2.
2. Booting the kernel directly from grub1 (then you can remove grub2 
once the system has booted).

The OP should probably report this as a bug against the 
linux-image-2.6.xx package which they are using in Debian.
