After a long discussion we decided to NOT implement this. Explanation: Grub developers do not support grub1 anymore and creating a grub1 Debian package that can be installed side by side with grub2 isn't trivial. Instead you should use a live system (e.g. see http://grub.enbug.org/ Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide) and chroot into your existing system. If you need to install or want to use grub1/grub2 from Grml either use grub1, grub2 or the All- In-One-Image bootoption from Grml live system in the boot menu and install/ configure/boot accordingly from there. Closing this issue therefore.

Wishlist request by Xuân Baldauf: provide grub1 (at least additionally to grub2) so restoring a (possibly broken) grub1 installation is possible.
