Debian and Ubuntu's grub2 is co-installable with grub1 (with grub1 installed to the MBR and chainloading grub2). The grub2-* commands are Fedora-isms; it looks like the Fedora maintainer renames the commands (I haven't installed it for a while but the last time that I tested it, running some commands with "--help" gave the standard grub-* output) and packages it for it to be available in the repos (not a criticism, just an observation). Fedora's generally at the cutting edge of just about every package so I don't understand its attitude towards grub2. It's been Ubuntu's default for a year and it'll be Debian's default for its next stable release (early next year?!) so it's not a question of reliability, stability, or usability.
