That's true. I guess I wasn't thinking along those lines because
I created a "one-size-fits-all" boot loader hook script for my own
use before boot loader packages started including
boot-loader-specific hook scripts.
The alternative, obviously, is a separate hook script to maintain symlinks.
That immediately raises two more questions: (1) How do we make sure that
it executes *after* the initramfs hook and *before* the boot loader hook, and
(2) which (required) package will own and maintain it? Your thoughts?
