So far, I am liking it.
I can use Debian to Boot Between Debian and FreeBSD.
Can Debian grub look after other systems?

GRUB can work multi-boots ... most any Linux will
install GRUB and you can add on from there. GRUB
is not Linux, not Debian, its own app.
A big part of grub is building the configuration, which is done by
scripts that come from the respective distribution. And yes, there are
differences in those scripts.
The Debian one messed up a dual-boot set-up on me after an upgrade,
and there was no simple description of manual configuration in the
Grub docs. I've since replaced Grub2 with the Extlinux bootloader
everywhere (after determining that Grub "Legacy" doesn't work
booting new Linux distros anymore), which doesn't expect you to
rely on flaky scripts to make its equivalent of Grub Legacy's good
old menu.lst.
