One problem is that the default lilo configuration had problems with it
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=329994).  I'd like to
see everything collected in /boot, indeed, but somebody is going to need
to go through base-installer and kernel packaging revision history in
some detail to work out all of the ramifications.
