Something - either a linux kernel packaging script, initramfs-tools or
lilo - is broken: The do_bootloader flag does not tell _which_
bootloader to use.
I see 3 approaches to solving this:
1) only support a single bootloader
(bad - especially when systematically closing bugs caused by
using a non-default bootloader)
2) bootloader packages conflict with each other
(bad - leaves a moment with *no* bootloader if switching)
3) bootloader packages coordinate to flag which of them is in use,
and other packages must respect this flagging
Please do not close this bug without fixing the underlying problem!
