That is o.k. because the new packages are made with the new release of
lilo.
Only one point would be interesting at this time: I would like to work on
the bug reports (comments, tags). But I want to start with this work at
first if I am defined as maintainer of the lilo package. I don't want to
run in conflict with the (old) maintainer.

Really there would be at least one bugfix which would be worth to go into
22.8 package: lilo compute the needed RAM undersized for newer kernels.
The patch would be:
http://git.debian.org/?p=lilo/lilo.git;a=commit;h=84ed3605738f8dcf8f960ea53c7cc4d44d6405c9
Then we could remove the warning in debian/lilo.postinst.
Have a nice day,
Joachim (Germany)
