Bug Description

I just update the kernel (2.6.10-14) with the new synaptic with dpkg progress bar.
But the upgrade process ask a conformation to use an existing entry in the lilo.conf

That's a tough one. It's not really lilo but the kernel itself who asks the
questions. and the kernels postinst perl script (about 1700 lines of perl).

somehow no one is volunteering :-)

Since lilo is an expert/non-default option, I think this can wait until hoary+1
