Empty commit log: not good. It would have been nice to explain in which
situations grub-mkfont is useful.

I don't really like this additional dependency, that is only needed
when one needs mkfont (pretty rare use case I believe).

Can we instead add a sub-option to the grub2 package to select (or not)
the build of the mkfont utility?

Of course, don't forget to explicitly --enable/--disable the relevant
option.

Thanks,

Thomas
