"/boot != EFI partition. You should not be placing kernels in teh UEFI 
partition."
My root filesystem (sda10 in this case) contains the kernels, the sda5 EFI 
partition does not.
My sda10 partition does not contain a /boot/efi directory, so I created one and 
rebooted: sda5 is still mounted on /boot.
I then renamed that directory to /boot/EFI and rebooted: sda5 is still mounted 
on /boot.

Sda5 only contains Grub2 (and an unofficial PartedMagic spin) and is not
really an EFI partition -- this flag is a leftover from an earlier
experiment. So I removed that flag and rebooted once more: sda5 is still
mounted on /boot ...

Perhaps superfluously I mention that I do not use Xubuntu's Grub/EFI
setup, but PartedMagic's instead. The Grub stanza for Xubuntu reads:

menuentry '[10] Xubuntu 16.04.2 "Xenial Xerus"' {
  set root=(hd0,10)
  linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda10 ro
  initrd /boot/initrd.gz
}
where /boot/vmlinuz is a symlink to ../vmlinuz and /boot/initrd.gz to 
../initrd.img. The /vmlinuz and /initrd.img are symlinks back into /boot and 
are amended by the installing a new kernel version procedure. My /boot symlinks 
need no maintenance therefore.
