That's your problem then - kernel packages built with make-kpkg require
interaction when setting up lilo.  I ended up building custom kernels
like any other package with a customised debian/rules built from dh_make
and then building the package with dpkg-buildpackage.

I'm not sure if FAI can compensate for this, I'd personally file a bug
against make-kpkg and ask them to use debconf.
