[Bug 43531] Re: Kernel isn't very useful without a boot loader, but doesn't depend on one

Wouldn't a package that can fetch either grub or lilo work? With the
option for no bootloader of course.

Example:
In a certain environment kernelxyz depends on bootoptions (Needs a more creative name, just an example.) after installing this bootoptions package executes a prompt explaining the pros and cons of it all and tells you that choosing no bootloader should be avoided without cause. Of course: This bootoptions package could perhaps just be run when the Distro is first installed ie a prompt on both installer types.

Just a thought, newcomer to Launchpad, thought I would throw a thought
at you all.
