Grub 2 reads various files for its naming system. Files such as /etc/issue, /etc/lsb-release, /etc/debian-version, and various others all contribute to what you are refereing to. There is a page somewhere written by Paul (pabs) maybe in the census that tells maintainers what files they need to change so not to infringe Debian copyright notices. I suggest you locate it and read it and then change the files mentioned and you'll probably find you don't have this difficulty anymore. Cheers. Michael.
