Bug#230502: debian-installer wiped out my MBR
Quoting Marc Herbert (Marc.Herbert@free.fr):

Just saw your IRC exchanges with joeyh about this. Can you indicate which
boot loader was involved?
(probably any of lilo and grub installers exhibit the same problem)
By the way, you are certainly a bit angry about this, but as you say,
come on.......I'm pretty sure you have skills enough for fixing the
problem, so I don't see any need for being that negative. Remember
that, no, Debian is not Windows, neither Redhat....this is a volunteer
project....:-)
If this is lilo, I think this BR may be merged with 229211.
