Replacing is rather strong. They serve similar purposes but its entirely
up to user preference and/or requirements which one is used. They
certainly aren't mutually exclusive or anything like that and pygrub is
not going away upstream any time soon.

pygrub _is_ in squeeze:
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/xen-*/bin/pygrub
xen-utils-4.0: /usr/lib/xen-4.0/bin/pygrub
I haven't seen any suggestion, from Bastian or otherwise, that it will
be removed.
I don't believe pvgrub was in Lenny.
