When running in UEFI mode, we do not need extlinux.conf to be generated
with the menus, as this feature is provided by grub or systemd-boot. 

On the other hand when not running in UEFI mode, U-Boot does not load
the DTBs from the UEFI System Partition.

Therefore to me it looks like two orthogonal features better provided by
different packages.
