To pull out a cliche, this is "letting the perfect be the enemy of the good". Covering the two most popular boot loaders (lilo and grub), together accounting for certainly well over 90% of the Debian users, and in particular nearly 100% of the less experienced users, is GOOD. Covering them all might be perfect, but just because it is impractical to do the perfect thing doesn't mean you should abandon a good thing. It is not a slight on other boot loaders to not cover them - it is completely reasonable to just cover the N most popular boot loaders, for some N, and leave it at that. -- Barak A.
