Control: tags -1 patch

It appears that VBE and 'vbeinfo' are available only with legacy BIOS boot, not UEFI boot. This misled a user with a UEFI setup:

Attached patch replaces 'vbeinfo' with 'videoinfo' which provides the same information and is available with both BIOS and UEFI boot.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] Replace 'vbeinfo' with 'videoinfo' in debian/default/grub

'vbeinfo' is available only with BIOS and not with UEFI, whereas 'videoinfo' is
available with both and gives the same information.
