If that is the case, then it has been placed there by a recent package
as I've never touched it and the two other Devuan Ascii boxen have no
problem. And line #32 of that file is actually a comment.

I thought it might have referred to Line #32 of /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig
which s a reference to the contents of "$rootdatadir" but that is
defined a few lines above as /usr/share. Plus it is identical(eyeball
compare) on the affected and non-effected machine.

Both the two non-effected machines have just today removed the
linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64
from their boot options without trouble.
And as webfu hasn't turned up any pointer, I'm a little stumped ATM.
