Package: qemu-system-x86
Version: 1:7.2+dfsg-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]

Dear Maintainer,

The latest version of qemu-system-x86 incorporates

    x86-don-t-let-decompressed-kernel-image-clobber-setu.patch

which is a cherry pick of a problematic qemu patch, and needs
to be dropped.

The result is that booting a Linux kernel using OVMF firmware
and the -kernel command line argument no longer works, and
instead, other boot options are attempted in turn, which
generally results in no boot at all, or the wrong boot option
being chosen.
