The postinst for the lilo package used to offer to run lilo.  Because
it didn't, my colo system had a broken bootloader halfway through my
own upgrade from woody to sarge.  I normally run lilo myself anyway
just to be sure but the system crashed due to a kernel bug triggered
by another part of the upgrade before I got around to it; as a result
I had to make a 5-hour round trip to the colo to fix the machine.

I don't think you can make a bug go away by documenting it in the
release notes !

Ian.

(I don't use distribution kernels and the kernel hadn't changed; the
only thing that broke lilo was that the package second stage had been
overwritten.)
