What happens when the user upgrades their system, then? I'm not too 
knowledgeable about LVM-fu, but would updating the name that is on the 
volume group be troublesome?

Unfortunately, something like this is not to be expected (some 
distributions don't suffix their kernel naming, plus the user could always 
build their own kernel/initrd if they so chose).

The /etc/grub.conf file is nothing more than a symlink to the one contained 
in the /boot/grub directory.
