Description
It looks like the correct way to override any page template in a subtheme is to first copy the Zen core page.tpl.php into the subtheme, then duplicate that to page-front.tpl.php (or whatever), and make the modifications in there.
I'd love to be able to leave the core page.tpl.php where it belongs, so I have one less thing to remember when upgrading Zen. I haven't looked into this in much detail, but is this a reasonable expectation that I should be, say, trying to write a patch for?

To solve this problem, can't you just simlink (ln -s) to the page.tpl.php in the zen core? Then you don't need an additional module and you don't need to keep updating your theme?
