mkinitcpio package does not contain a symlink in /sbin.

Changelog https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/mkinitcpio&id=8431419a99d509c4d7fd4b00f9536aa972450169 shows:

- # compat symlink
- install -dm755 "$pkgdir/sbin"
- ln -s /usr/bin/mkinitcpio "$pkgdir/sbin/mkinitcpio"

This breaks the net installer (see  FS#29420 ).

Although the installer can be changed to use /usr/bin/mkinitcpio, has this change been made on purpose, or is that an error? Can it break other things than the installer?
This task depends upon
