In fact, I think it is more informative to think of it being bound to the fingerprint, even though this is not true. The fingerprint corresponds one-to-one to the public key for all practical purposes, and the revocation certificate is bound to the public key. However, "public key" is ill-defined without context. It can also refer to the whole thing with UID's and signatures and so on, which is not what I mean in this context. So, yes, the revocation certificate is on the fingerprint ;).
