Huh? mbr and LILO coexist on a system. There is no need to
stop using LILO if you use mbr (I have both). In fact, from the long
descriion of mbr:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Master Boot Record for IBM-PC compatible computers.
This is used in booting Linux from the hard disk.
The MBR runs first, then transfers control to LILO, which transfers
control to the Linux kernel.

Those packages are not indentical (in fact, it has been
demontrated that having the wrong one can hose some compiles). The
people putting together the libc and kernel packages are not exactly
all idiots, you know. The dependency has a reason.

In cases like this it genrally helps to be correct before
trying to convince other entities.
