May i propose "grub2-pc-bios" instead ? Or "grub2-legacy-bios" ?

There is a habit in the web to call EFI "the BIOS of the computer".
Google "EFI BIOS" yields this confusing nomenclature mainly with german
language texts. Like
  https://www.heise.de/news/Updates-notwendig-Sicherheitsluecken-im-UEFI-BIOS-erleichtern-Rootkitverankerung-6346108.html
  "Zahlreiche Bugs in UEFI-BIOS-Versionen der Firma Insyde H2O"
  = "Numerous bugs in UEFI-BIOS-versions of the company Insyde H2O"
But some english mix-ups are to see too

Have a nice day :)
