Bug#431285: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686: displays unnecessairy FUD during install
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch1
Severity: important
During installation, the package displays irrelevant and panicky
information about needed changes in the LILO configuration files
while grub is the standard debian boot loader.
Detecting if Grub or LILO is the boot loader is easy to do and
should be done before this unnecessairy information screen is
displayed.
Further more the installer could check by itself if the
needed changes is already included in the configuration file
instead of requiring a user to do so.
