Bug#65606: No installation of LILO to logical partition?

[Tim Hull <thully@worldnet.att.net>]

Package: base
Version: 2.2.15-06-07

When I installed Debian "potato"  I was not allowed to install LILO to a
logical partition.  It says LILO can't be installed there, but in fact
it can.  I reconfigured LILO after install to lie in the logical
partition ,and it worked.  This may or may not work with all sotck
Debian bootloaders, but I can boot the logical partition with
BootMagic(non-free program) and I think I can use xosl (xosl.org) to
boot it also.  I think the installer should permit installation of LILO
to a logical partition.
