You've got a good, but while grub-legacy is called 'grub' in Archlinux Official repository, I see no need for changing grub-gfx name. If I see grub2, grub and grub-gfx, I would think that grub-gfx have different version than grub2. When/If 'grub' maintainer decide to change it to grub-legacy, I will vote favorable to change name. That's only my 2 cents, anyway. :) Cheers,
