Uhm, actually nope. I could explain but it's moot.

But that was not my "dependancy gripe". basesystem->grub was, as well
as basesystem->ntsysv and basesystem->console-tools. The latter two I
can probably live with and understand, but why should I *have* to
install grub? I use LILO. Sure it's a miniscule package and I should
just install it and shut-up, but I like to do things right. :-)
