New submission from Michael Prokop <mika at grml.org>:

Forwarded bug report from and with permission by Goswin von Brederlow:

grml functions great as rescue system. So it would be nice to have a boot entry 
for it in grub instead of having to go look for the CD when needed. To make 
installing and updating simple it would be great if one could install this as a 
normal debian package which would register itself in grub (and maybe lilo too).
                                                                                                                                     
The grml.deb would be quite simple. It only needs contain a few files
                                                     
/etc/grub.d/20_grml
/boot/grml.iso
/usr/share/doc/copyright + changelog

and something in postinst to update the /boot/grub.cfg. Probably best to start 
of with just grml-small and see if there is demand for the larger images too.
