That seems to be due to an ill-considered recent copying of woody's
lilo.conf into the lilo installer. Fixed. However, it has nothing to do
with the problem I reported. 

if [ ! -f /etc/lilo.conf ]; then
        isfresh=1
        db_text high lilo/new-config || true
        db_go
fi

This is the debconf note that is unconditionally, and pointlessly displayed
when lilo is installed.

Perhaps we should write lilo.conf before apt-installing lilo?
