Of course, Ubuntu does it differently.  Oh well, maybe GRUB 2 isn't the
end of the distribution-specific changes.  At least they are fewer:

      * sudo aptitude install grub2-splashimages
      * Update the WALLPAPER line in /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme to
        point to the picture that you want to use.
      * sudo update-grub

Yep, that's pretty easy.

They basically wrote a bit of a wrapper around it so that you don't have
to worry about loading modules and the like yourself.
