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

[Ben Collins]

The only way this would even be feasible is to create a "boot-loader"
meta package that grub, lilo, and friends can provide. That way they can
install a "no-boot-loader" meta-package to work around it. This is much
easier than having to have a way to disable grub and lilo.
