Debian grub-legacy setup is no longer supported, yet it can still be 
install so you can get a readable menu when you upgrade the kernel.

I multi-boot 20 installed .deb systems on the computer is the reason why.

Not an option, I would be screwing with a grub config file that's not 
designed to be readable by man and with 20 systems just updating grub-pc 
is unnecessary time consuming.  If I was running one or two systems 
grub-pc would be fine but even my laptops have 5 or more systems installed.
