Does installing grub2 on former lilo started systems do-the-right-thing? In all cases? If not all, what kind of corner cases aren't supported? If no, how much admin actions are required? Can this be automated? Etc. Depending on all these answers, the solution will be different, but without any knowledge of discrepancies to me it feels better to migrate the current users to grub2. That would mean that there needs to be a transitional lilo package in bullseye. If this can work out of the box, you could even ask the grub2 maintainer to carry this transitional package for you. Without it, uploading an empty package for the transition is trivial. However, that way you can't keep your package in sid. Paul
