you should really look at the kernel-img.conf(5) man page, you can
tune all of this behaviour nowadays and it's all quite nice. my
previous workaround for this situation involved installing a perl
script as /sbin/lilo and dpkg-divert'ing the real executable away in
case I needed it for custom boot floppies and so forth, the perl
script just re-generates grub's menu.lst file with a full list of all
installed kernels. there should be a copy in the list archives, email
me privately if you have trouble locating it there and want a copy.
