Nope, not good enough. Also had to symlink it into /etc/initramfs/post-update.d. Here's /root/bin/lilo.post for the main Linux partition:

#!/bin/bash
dd if=/dev/sda4 of=/root/sda4-lilo.bin bs=512 count=1
if [ -e /media/sda3/MSDOS.SYS ]; then
 cp -f /root/sda4-lilo.bin /media/sda3/debian.bin
else
 echo /media/sda3 \(Windows partition\) is not mounted, aborting! >&2
 exit 1
fi
echo Localized lilo \($0\) tasks complete.

Still need to wait until some action triggers LILO again to see if this is really going to work. A symlink might not be the answer.
