Finally, I've found the README.Debian I wrote. Please feel free to include it
in the .deb under the same license as GRUB2.

Migrating menu entries from grub to grub-pc
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not all menu.lst entries can be automatically migrated to grub.conf.
Installing grub-pc will automatically migrate your Linux and memtest86
configurations in to the new file, but will not touch entries for other
operating systems. This document explains how to migrate these entries over
to grub.cfg.
First, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and look for lines similar to the following:
title Windows XP Professional
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
For each complete configuration block, create a text file in /etc/grub.d
called 15_windows (see /etc/grub.d/README for a description of the numbering
scheme) containing the following:
#!/bin/sh -e
echo "Installing entry for Windows XP Professional" >&2
cat <<EOF
menuentry "Windows XP Professional" {
set root=(hd0,0)
chainloader +1
}
EOF
Make this file executable - chmod 755 /etc/grub.d/15_windows, then re-run
/sbin/update-grub. Check that /boot/grub/grub.cfg includes the new stanza,
and restart your system to verify the menu entry appears.
