Basically, you can use any bootloader you want. You "just" have to take
care about the setup.

-add the bootloader to package_config/*
-use files/* for configuration, and maybe fcopy's "postinst" support for
 applying the config file (this means, if you take lilo as an example,
 to run "$ROOTCMD lilo" in files/etc/lilo.conf/postinst)
