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.
