There are new packages for Debian and Ubuntu, made with the same source
package of LILO 23.1.

It can be seen in the following git repository:
http://git.debian.org/?p=lilo/debian.git;a=summary

It can be downloaded for Ubuntu Natty (i386, amd86):
http://lilo.alioth.debian.org/ftp/ubuntu/

and can be downloaded for Debian Squeeze (i386, amd64):
http://lilo.alioth.debian.org/ftp/debian/

While working on these new packages I have analyzed all bugreports for
LILO in Debian and Ubuntu. I have created many patches which can now be
used to close 25 Debian bugreports and 5 Ubuntu bugreports.

Finally the new packages for Ubuntu can be uploaded to the official
repository.

Would it be a good idea to make packages for Maverick, too?
Which naming scheme would be the best? 23.1-1ubuntu1~maverick1 ?

Have a nice day,
