Package: qemu-system
Version: 1:3.1+dfsg-2+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The default nic model for qemu is e1000e, which, in uefi mode, requires an
efi-e1000e.rom.
The ipxe package, however, does not contain this rom.
Apparently, this is because the ipxe maintainer didn't mmanage to compile
it, so it was decided to leave it out.
If this is correct, maybe you could consider patching qemu to not use
e1000e as the default nic in Debian, but maybe the older e1000, for which
an efi rom is provided?
This would mean most uses that depend on the "default nic" to continue
to work.
Thanks!

efi-e1000e is included in ipxe-qemu in unstable, version
1.0.0+git-20190125.36a4c85-1.
Apparently qemu can depend on this version of ipxe-qemu, but I decided not to do
so, to be able to more freely experiment with various components if needed.
Closing this bugreport now, if you think it is incorrect please reopen it.
Thank you!
