Grub 2 (version 1.99, on your system) is a rewrite of grub, and the old one has been thus named Grub 1. The latest version number of grub 1 is 0.97.

Off topic, but... I think that versioning explanation exactly illustrates why the version scheme adopted by Chrome (and an a good amount of other software) makes so much more sense. :)

This is the first time I see the name "GRUB 1". On the other hand, searching for "GRUB legacy" (the official name) returns millions of hits.
