Bug#535331: possible reason
Looking at differencies, there seems to be key differente between etch's
2.6.18 and 2.6.24 kernels' postinst scripts.
the variable "$loader" gets initialized to "lilo" in 2.6.18, and to empty
value in 2.6.24. I don't see any way to (preferrably) autodetect or
configure this variable according to current system configuration.
It would be nice if we could configure the loader manually and the postinst
script could autodetect which loaders are installed, call the loader if
needed (lilo does need, grub may not) and optionally comply if it finds more
than one and none is configured (possible mistake)
I think I am able to code this in perl, if anyone helps me with it...
