Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl) wrote : Kernel must ensure boot loader update

I asked my system to clean out packages that are not required for
ubuntu-desktop, and it happily removed grub. I don't have lilo. It also
installed a new kernel, but of course the boot loader is not updated to
reflect that. I've spoken with Colin Watson who does not want to add
grub to ubuntu-desktop, but one way or the other we must have some
requirement of a bootloader, and the kernel should make some sort of
noise if you try to install a new kernel WITHOUT one.
