Maybe the mbr package is what we're looking for here.

http://packages.debian.org/lenny/mbr

From the manpage, the behavior of this loader is to chainload to the
"default" partition (the one that has the boot flag, I guess) after one sec
(configurable), or display a very basic prompt if a keypress occurs before
(or if it fails).

In other words, it does the job -- the old-school way, but it works.
