Yes, agreed. Possibly even more important: having the file in /boot be
a symlink to something in /usr will lose if /boot and /usr are on
different filesystems since grub won't be able to find the file at run
time. I guess this situation probably doesn't arise all that often on
embedded systems but it's certainly meant to work (per FHS) and it seems
a shame to break it for no good reason.
