These links are useless for any boot program capable of using more than one
kernel, thus they are not created by default for more than a decade.
Debian's (and thus Devuan's) official precompiled kernel package update the
symlinks if they exist but AFAIK they don't create them anew -- the
debian-installer module does, though, so it's not surprising you still have
one.

This doesn't matter at all unless you use lilo, and even that might have
changed since.
