Public bug reported:

Currently this package generates /boot/grub/gfxblacklist.txt which is
processed with hwmatch which is only available on grub-pc platform and
not on the uefi platform.

on uefi platform we instead have smbios command.

Can we update grub-gfxpayload-lists & grub to generate something using
smbios command instead?

Also do we still need this package? I am not too sure if the vendors in
question are still relevant hardware.

This also currently generates ugly messages during every boot of every
ubuntu release stating that `hwmatch command is not available`.
