No, that's not what we mean. Konrad's point is that /sbin (and
/usr/sbin) may not be in $PATH when grub-mkconfig is invoked. (I'm not
sure I agree that this is likely because grub-mkconfig is normally
invoked as root and root's $PATH normally includes /sbin, but Konrad
seems to think it's a possibility worth worrying about.)
A reasonable solution to this kind of thing is to set
PATH="$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin" to ensure that utilities there are
available.
