And that is exactly my point -- the *package* should not be overriding the decisions made at the *system* level. For example, let's say I had set /etc/sysconfig/bootloader to "lilo" -- installing grub, however, would have overwritten the lilo installed bootloader.
True, but I don't think we can fix it. :( The principle is that these tools came from upstream, they should work as is, what we usually do is to package them and people use them is **identical** with upstrean. Another principle is that these changes can't get upstreamed, unless they are willing to accept disto specific patches .. It would become maintenance burden if we have to porting these specific patches each time when update newer version(and also test burden to these patches). I would view these tools as building block of systems but not directly touched by normal user .. You could use them, of course, but you are in *expert mode* and you are on your own ...
