Relevant then (though I don't remember it ever being in Debian...) - not
relevant now.
There is a "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX" though, and you can create custom
variables.

The built-in variables can be found with:-
$ grep "export GRUB_DEVICE" -A42 /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig
Searching info is, eg.:-
$ info grub --index-search term_you_look_for

I'm fascinated that our government could lie to us so blatantly, so
obviously for so long, and we do absolutely nothing about it.
I think that's interesting in what is ostensibly a democracy.
Sarcasm - come on in.
People say "Bill, quit talking about Kennedy man.
It was a long time ago, just let it go, alright?
It's a long time ago, just forget it."
I'm like, alright, then don't bring up Jesus to me.
As long as we're talking shelf life here...
