I think that's supported already:

Template: grub-installer/password
Type: password
# :sl2:
_Description: GRUB password:
 The GRUB boot loader offers many powerful interactive features, which could
 be used to compromise your system if unauthorized users have access to the
 machine when it is starting up. To defend against this, you may choose a
 password which will be required before editing menu entries or entering the
 GRUB command-line interface. By default, any user will still be able to
 start any menu entry without entering the password.
 .
 If you do not wish to set a GRUB password, leave this field blank.

Can be preseeded, or specified during an expert install. Definitely not
something that should be asked during a normal install.

Grub Password configuration during install

[Timothy M Butterworth]

All,

Would it be possible to add a section to the installer when Grub is being
installed and configured to configure a grub password?

Thanks

Tim
