hi,
this should all be prefaced with the disclaimer that i'm not actually
using lilo at the moment, but i thought i'd throw in something due to
some of the comments/posturing that i've been seeing here.

actually, i don't think you have any say about what software can and
can not be in debian, that is the sole privilege of ftp-master. your
options are (a) to claim you still want to maintain the package and
continue to do so, or (b) ask for its removal by ftp-master. given your
comments here i think if you were to claim (a) there would be a decent
case for someone to take to the tech-ctte.
ftp-master, if they're aware of this argument, may just say "why not
orphan it instead?". but regardless, if someone else is interested they
can just follow that removal with a new upload using their name as
Maintainer, and then again it's up to ftp-master to accept or deny it.
given that there may be an active upstream and maintainer, and the
software is otherwise DFSG-compatible, i don't see why they would deny
such a new upload.
of course, it would be a lot nicer if you could just hand over the reins
of the current package to those who have been asking for them, to avoid
some un-needed overhead...
