It's just a symlink. What's the harm?

Having the symlink is very practical for bootloaders that are not grub.
Pointing an extlinux.conf or a boot.scr to /vmlinuz instead of having to infer
the version is nice.

The tool debvm-run also relies on that symlink to infer the kernel image
location.

And so does the tool mmdebstrap-autopkgtest-build-qemu.

This is why this is a good example of Chesterton's Fence as Geert already
pointed out. Before trying to tear it down, maybe you missed some of its uses.

Thanks!
