I didn't make the requirement on the logo hard because it's possible that some
artwork packages don't have the bootloader icon, and enforcing the dependency
there doesn't seem entirely reasonable. grub's obviously more reasonable, but
given that we haven't done the transition yet it'd just be one more thing to
update. Possibly justifiable.

Blessing is a problem. It needs to be done every time the inode number changes
(ie, every time the grub package gets updated), but we can't have any kind of
pre-dependency in grub because this package is only going to be installed on a
subset of machines. There may be a better way to do it, but I think it's
something we'll only work out by iterating through a few implementations.

I don't see a significant problem with /boot/grub2-efi, but we're going to have
to disable module loading and just build everything in in order to support
secure boot, so I don't see it being used for anything in an EFI world. In that
case there's no reason to use grub2-efi-install instead of just doing what
grub-efi does, and shipping the binary.
