No problem, I will mail you next time.

1/ I reported 2 years ago a bug (#7570) that could be fixed in 5
minutes and just got bored to wait.
2/ lilo also had ~10 other bugs that could be easily fixed and since lilo
is such a critical part of the Debian system it should be as bugfree as
possible.
3/ In march 98, Peter Maydell took the time to write nice manpages
for activate(8) and keytable-lilo.pl(8). Not having taken 3 minutes to
include them in 9 months is just plainly unjustified and disrespects his
work.
I considered these 3 points as a good reason to make an upload.

I usually wait for the package to be installed to send the NMU patch to
the Bug Tracking System which is why you haven't got it yet.
