Is this too much of a hack:

<other existing menu entries here>

menuentry ' ' {true}
menuentry 'Help:' {true}
submenu '  Prerequesites for installing Debian.' {
	menuentry 'PREREQUISITES FOR INSTALLING DEBIAN' {true}
	menuentry ' ' {true}
	menuentry 'You must have at least 105 megabytes of RAM to use this Debian' {true}
	menuentry 'installer.' {true}
	menuentry ' ' {true}
	menuentry 'You should have space on your hard disk to create a new disk partition' {true}
	menuentry "of at least 680 megabytes to install the base system.  You'll need more" {true}
	menuentry 'disk space to install additional packages, depending on what you wish' {true}
	menuentry 'to do with your new Debian system.' {true}
	menuentry ' ' {true}
	menuentry 'See the Installation Guide or the FAQ for more information; both' {true}
	menuentry 'documents are available at the Debian web site, http://www.debian.org/' {true}
	menuentry ' ' {true}
	menuentry 'Thank you for choosing Debian!' {true}
}
submenu '  Boot methods for special ways of using this CD-ROM' {
	menuentry 'BOOT METHODS' {true}
	menuentry ' ' {true}
	menuentry 'Available boot methods:' {true}
	menuentry ' ' {true}
	menuentry 'installgui' {true}
	menuentry '  Start the installation using the graphical installer -- this is the' {true}
	menuentry 'install' {true}
	menuentry '  Start the installation using the text mode installer' {true}
	menuentry 'expertgui' {true}
	menuentry '  Start the installation in expert mode, for maximum control, using' {true}
	menuentry '  the graphical installer' {true}
	menuentry 'expert' {true}
	menuentry '  Start the installation in expert mode using the text mode installer' {true}
}
