You could consider installing GRUB from CentOS in the MBR of the CentOS
disk (though, the boot partition would be fine too), and add something
like

---
title CentOS
root (hd1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
---

To your Debian GRUB configuration. This prevents that you'll have to
update your Debian GRUB configuration again after n kernel updates
(where n is the number set with the installonlyn yum plugin).
