Probably the most intelligent workaround for this problem is doing an

GRUB already has isolinux parser. But the case of booting ISOs is
different because

All that work is just so not worth it. I'd rather do something else with my
time.

If you use loopback.cfg as intended it will all work.
loopback.cfg contains the linux/initrd entries relevant to each distro's iso

If you have concrete change proposals tell so.
Also you can use easy configs with grub2, you don't have to use all features
for a simple setup.
The problem with grub2 is not that a really simple config does not work. The
problem is, that ALL what is a little bit more than a simple config is

Debian has no support of booting over image on a network server. It's a
problem with initrd scripts, not GRUB
This is not entirely true (actually almost entirely wrong). Debain has no
provisions for booting iso images from a server. The netboot images work
just fine. (including live images)

The regular live iso also fails to boot from HDD with loopback. As
posted somewhere along the thread, it seems that debian's loopback
kernel module must be extracted and placed on the

Yes, but this is a minimal image as I understand and additional
binaries (for example if you want an lxde desktop) will be downloaded.
That's fine for a

Most live-cd's use an isolinux configuration with many menu items

GRUB has isolinux config parser.
Is there any link to usage with examples? The Grub manual does not
mention it all I could find was from osdetect.cfg:
syslinux_configfile -i /isolinux/isolinux.cfg
Which still isn't much to go on.
