Yes.  Even though grub1 (aka grub legacy) is not maintained anymore,
some pkgsrc users may prefer it over grub2, so I agree that we should
keep sysutils/grub for grub1 and add grub2 (when ready).

Until now, I tried to make wip/grub2 coexist with sysutils/grub.  But
this was painful, and I doubt that it's useful for the end user.  Now,
my intention is to have sysutils/grub and grub2 conflict with each
other.
