The bootloader-selector has a low debconf priority, so it wouldn't be shown by default. At menu item number 7200 is the 'isinstallable'-flag set to true for the installer udeb. With a higher (more detailed) debconf priority will the user be asked for the bootloader of choice. This is where grub or grub2 can be selected. A bootparameter has the same effect.
