Comment # 1 on bug 1125307 from Jiri Srain

The package is used when you install your bootloader to a boot sector and want
to make sure that MBR contains code which can actually load it (or other BL
from the active partition). This is (when configured) a part of the
installation of openSUSE.

However, is: Checking the YaST code, it looks to me like YaST currently uses
similar functionality coming from syslinux. Which would mean that it is indeed
not needed any more (I'm not aware of any other user and it was split off from
the yast2-bootloader package from legal reasons).

Josef, could you, please, confirm that I did not miss anything and this
"flaver" of generic boot code is not used any more?
