If both lilo and grub are installed, I can understand not running lilo automatically, but surely there should at the very least be a warning prompt about the possible need to run lilo. (And I mean a prompt requiring a response, so that it can't be overlooked when you're doing a bit upgrade of the system.) Essentially, if lilo is installed, make sure the upgrader knows that the system might not boot without further action. The same issue has hit me more than once recently - not just with initramfs-tools upgrades. A mere warning in README.Debian isn't enough given that it could make a system unbootable.
