It's still packaged as `grub'. Installation should be the same as with
grub2: running grub-install /dev/sda and update-grub
GRUB Legacy though uses the embeding area too, it only needs much less
space there.

But I suggest the following to keep GRUB 2:
Run grub-install --force /dev/sda1 (or whatever your Ubuntu partition
is)
Then install mbr package
install-mbr /dev/sda
And then use cfdisk/fdisk/gparted or so to set the boot flag on your
Ubuntu partition (the one were you ran grub-install)
