Public bug reported: '/etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-elilo' needs to check whether elilo is installed!
Because it's a conffile - it's not removed when the package is removed. The workaround is to purge the package ('apt-get remove --purge elilo'). Here's the damage: Setting up linux-image-3.2.0-41-generic (3.2.0-41.66) ...
