	But the kernel-package already warns you if you try to remove
 a kernel-image mentioned in lilo.conf, asks for confirmation, and
 reminds you that you have to change lilo configuration or else your
 system will be broken. 

	Is that not enough? Anyone confirming the removal can very
 well add the symlink themselves (since we are not being nursemaids
 ;-)
