Since symlinks are not associated with any package in particular,

historic boot loaders such as lilo and zipl, perhaps the best way
to handle this is for the boot loader hook script, zz-whatever, to
maintain the symlinks, if desired.

Beware that multiple boot loaders might be installed concurrently.

If each of them provide a zz- hook script implemented independently, they might handle symlinks differently, leading to surprises.
