Thanks for reporting! This is embarrassing...

IMHO grep should provide a symlink for the time being. Too many
scripts and packages assume grep is in /bin. Looking at other
distributions that started implementing this (Fedora), they
provide symlinks for nearly every binary that is moved to /usr.

You might be right that grep is one of the things that we should
symlink (though I hope we will be able to keep things quite a bit
simpler than what Fedora did). I'll leave that for Allan to
decide. In the meantime I'll fix the filesystem package to not use
absolute paths (I have to test this a bit though, as I'm not sure
if there is a reason why this was done in the first place).

Just a note: once (if) we manage to pull of the migration to /usr,
then obviously all this becomes moot as there will be symlinks in
place so you can call /bin/grep, /sbin/grep, /usr/sbin/grep or
/usr/bin/grep and they will all work (so third party scripts can
do whatever they want).
