The Ubuntu *.iso may be built differently. Possibly it is a Live one.

menuentry 'debian-6.06-amd64.iso' {
loopback loop /debian.iso
linux (loop)/install.amd/vmlinuz
initrd (loop)/install.amd/initrd.gz
boots the ISO for me. "loop0" for "loop" is OK too. The problems start
at the detecting and mounting the CD-ROM stage. To avoid them you need
a netboot mini ISO.

I'm very surprised you find installing from a USB flash drive less
convenient than a hard disk install. Having i386 and and64 ISOs as
isohybrids is one of the best things which has happened in Debian in
recent years.
