Comments/Problems:

#1.

The (automatic) installation of ssh left the following debconf
output in /var/mail/mail, where it is unlikely to be seen:

>From root@localhost.localdomain Mon Oct 25 14:36:27 2004
Envelope-to: root@localhost.localdomain
Delivery-date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 14:36:27 -0400
To: root@localhost.localdomain
Subject: Debconf: Configuring ssh -- NOTE: Forwarding of X11 and Authorization disabled by default.
From: root <root@localhost.localdomain>
Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 14:36:27 -0400

For security reasons, the Debian version of ssh has ForwardX11 and
ForwardAgent set to ``off'' by default.

You can enable it for servers you trust, either in one of the
configuration files, or with the -X command line option.

More details can be found in /usr/share/doc/ssh/README.Debian

Debconf, running at localhost.localdomain

#2.

It wasn't very clear how to choose LILO instead of GRUB.  The "Go
Back" option on the GRUB page allows it, but that isn't obvious (maybe
it shouldn't be if LILO is deprecated in favor of GRUB these days).
But I think a button labeled "Other Options" (or "Advanced Options",
or "Alternative Choices", etc.) would be clearer than "Go Back".
