Before or after the line

 ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

?

The update-grub manpage makes no mention of managing boot options for
kernels or OSes located outside of /boot, and I can't remember a version
that did so.  At least the second half of your cited entries were clearly
added by debian-installer, not by update-grub; update-grub's only
responsibilities in this case are to *not* attempt to manage entries located
below the 'END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST' line.  And I can confirm that
the current version of update-grub still behaves as expected on my system.
