Yes, but shipping isolinux inside grml2usb should be IMHO the last option
(additional source code to maintain in the repo, including a static linked
binary is also no option)

As we currently have daily images for stable as well as testing&sid they
currently have different isolinux versions.

Yes. Mainly different locations. But maybe a combined approach like finding
the modules, fallback to the 4.x modules within grml2usb and test if the
modules on the directory match the isolinux version.
But i am not sure how important non-Debian distros are anyway :)
