Package: lilo
Version: 1:22.8-8.2
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Severity: critical
Tags: sid
The lilo package is installed but /etc/lilo.conf is missing; at present
I use grub.
In the latest update of lilo, I can no longer install kernel updates, as
seen in the following output:
Setting up linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 (2.6.32-21) ...
Running depmod.

I see from the changelog that /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-lilo is a recent
addition. AFAICT, there's no /etc/kernel policy that selects between
grub and lilo, so I'm not certain how to resolve this problem -- how to
leave both packages installed.
I should also mention that as far as I can recall, this same lilo update
removed /etc/lilo.conf -- I recall reading a message.
Please let me know if you require additional information.
