Yes, we can certianly try to do this eventually. However, take a look at
all the disgusting stuff basedisks.sh has to do in the boot-floppies to
create a debian base system. A lot of packages need to be cleaned up
before we can just dpkg -i `cat base-debs` and have it work. I'd prefer
to go with something that already works here to save time on the first
cut.

Maybe I shouldn't have written lilo there. I have no preference. Whoever
writes this module for the first cut can decide. If you'd like it to be
grub...
