grub2-mkconfig is just a brute-force shell script that ends with

   # none of the children aborted with error, install the new grub.cfg
   mv -f ${grub_cfg}.new ${grub_cfg}

so instead of not shipping an incompatible /etc/grub2.cfg symlink as
long as this tool obviously cannot handle the symlink, there are lame and
dubious attempts at defending the symlink.
