This is indeed a bug, or a missing feature, in GRUB. AFAIK, the only
way for having a kind of "category title" is by using a fake entry
which does nothing.

I think we can safely assign this to the grub package, as a wishlist
bug for "Please allow for a title entry in menu.lst".

GRUB maintainer(s), comments?

Of course, if grub-installer misuses menu.lst and such possibility
already exists, please reassign the bug to grub-installer.
