Hi,
memtest86 is reading when in postinst from console if lilo should be
run or not. In case of unattended installing of memtest86+, the whole
unattended setup is halted until a key is pressed.
At this point at least DEBIAN_FRONTEND should be checked, if it is set
to "noninteractive" (see patch attached). A far better solution would be
to use debconf.
