I believe so, because the Augeas grub lens has:

    (* View: filter *)
    let filter = incl "/boot/grub/grub.conf"
               . incl "/boot/grub/menu.lst"
               . incl "/etc/grub.conf"

so it wouldn't normally be activated for a grub.conf found under
any other path.

The slow tests passed, so I'll push this version shortly.
