[My current modus operandi is to use ubuntu live to partition, grub
and generally check out a new system. Then install debian. Any better
suggestions are welcome :-) ]
Maybe you will like the Debian installer to partition, install Debian,
and build a grub with ALL
the other OS (including other Debian or derivates...) living on the
machine, in one shot ?
Many news in GRUB2, the new standard in Squeeze, but very well explained

You can choose on the Debian site differents behaviours : USB, cd,
etc... for 32 or 64 bits.
I used it since 3 versions of Debian and never have a problem with it !
Go there to make your advice :
debian.org (sorry, can't give you more
precise link, cause
something in the box automagically redirect the browser to the french
version of the site)))
