I have to agree with Martin here. LILO is a difficult package to maintain, it
would be good to see a record of technical ability and ability to manage the
Debian processes.
The first thing a new LILO maintainer is going to have to deal with is a
conflict between the people who want debconf support and the people who never
want debconf support.
