To accomplish this you have two options.
1. You can modify and patch "grub-mkconfig" scripts which were modified
by Debian and served by "grub-common" package.
These script modifications are out of reach for upstream grub
developers, so posting this request here is pointless.
You have much better chances to get more info by asking in your usual
debian-user mailing list. ;)

2. Second option is to manually modify "/etc/grub.d/40_custom" or add
another partial script (41_custom, etc) for "update-grub" script to process.
You will end up with more (duplicated) grub menu options to select from,
but at least you will have your part-labels and point release information.
