Your comprehensive explanation is very much appreciated. Like you I
don't see any way to have 05_debian_theme discover where a file in
/boot/grub has come from and I suppose it is not unreasonable for it to
assume the moreblue-orbit-grub.png it discovers has been put there by
GRUB, especially given the sha1sum check made.

Furthermore, when you say

it caused me to think a bit more about putting a file on the system
which is identical to one in a package. I'm inclined now to view it not
only as an unwise move but also as the wrong thing to do. Essentially,
I brought the deletion of the picture on myself!

The bug (if it ever was a bug) is marked 'wontfix'. Can I leave it to
the maintainer to close the report?

Thank you for the time you have spent on this and the work you do for
Debian.

Regards,

Brian.
