IIRC the postinst has always copied the file in and it still does
AFAICT. The name of the default theme changed again and the grub
maintainer has not yet updated the file name.

In my opinion that is correct, best ask the maintainer how they prefer
to fix it though. Please note that when purging the package, /boot/grub
will probably need to be cleaned up by the postrm.

It would be nice but it is not essential since people using full-disk
encryption are probably capable of finding this bug report and figuring
out how to workaround this issue.
