* You don't have to run /sbin/grub every time you install a new kernel
* If you forget to add the new config entry describing your new kernel you can still load the new kernel on reboot from the grub command line.
** Because of those features, if you had purged the kernel package for your configured boot kernel, you would still have a chance of booting into Debian, as long as some version of the kernel is installed.
Although the method of defining drives is different than /dev/hd*, once you get the knack of it, the config file isn't that hairy. Just install grub-doc with grub and read the documentation.
