This package is available from testing/unstable, it is a self-contained package with no dependencies so it is trivial to install it. It's also quite common prob to miss the required version of various ROMs when backporting qemu, I had this several times already. And it's also really-really boring to rebuild the roms without any changes (since actually there's no changes needed at all). Maybe someday this issue will be fixed, maybe even by downgrading the versioned dependency... Please note the backports usage page explicitly tells to not file bugs against backported versions, see https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/#index6h2 (at the end of the page). Closing this bug now, thank you! /mjt
