I've wondered about this or something similar. Has anyone tried having each OS install their grub to their partition, rather than the MBR — and then having a separate grub configuration that installs onto the MBR which lets you chain-load each of the partitions (or LVs or whatever?) My thinking is that the MBR-level grub will not need to be updated much, and various OS's machinery built on top of grub to update when you put a new kernel in, etc., are less likely to trample on each other (or the MBR) if you have told them (or d-i or whatever) to not install to the MBR themselves.
