It's more important to make a choice than what the choice is. d-i chose between lilo and grub before; we did it by listening to what users wanted and looking at which worked best overall, and I think we'll eventually get the same kind of information about initramfs-tools vs yaird (the wiki page is a good start). Before we decided to default to grub, we temporarily, and somewhat randomly, defaulted to lilo for a long time. This seems more in-scope for the kernel team to decide than the d-i team, but if it would help I can flip a coin.. > And what about the cases where the choice happens to be dependent on > the architecture used ? As far as I can tell so far they both have the same set of supported architectures, although initramfs-tools has been tested as failing on more architectures. But if we really needed to, we could vary it by architecture without most of the complications that offering a choise at install time would entail. (BTW, should we let the new kernel packages that require these tools into testing, if they don't yet support most architectures?) -- see shy jo
