That would mean that anyone using grub2 that wants the dejavu fonts will
have to figure out that the option exists and pass it to the
buildscripts.  That's a pretty bad user experience for anyone building
their own grub.

I get that maintaining a list of where everyone has put their fonts is
somewhat obnoxious, but in the absence of a standard way of doing it,
I'm not sure there's anything better.  The only other alternative I
could think of was running find in /usr/share/fonts, which struck me as
fraught.

Be well,
