Yes, it is the standard symlink. The issue is the redefinition of $CONFIG for the pppoe scripts (/usr/sbin/pppoe-start, etc).
The default config location for these scripts is /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf (doesn't matter if it is a symlink or not). The network init script writes the values out to the correct file, but defines $CONFIG in this same file to /etc/ppp Since the network init script puts the config file in the default location, the CONFIG variable is not needed. Not sure why CF_BASE is in there, as none of the pppoe scripts use it. It looks like the intention was for CONFIG to be combined with CF_BASE for the full path (and maybe an earlier rp-pppoe package expected this?), but this is not happening.
