This sounds like a bug in the packaging of Ubuntu, so I've moved it to the Ubuntu tracker

However, when I specify this machine, qemu complains that it can't find the skiboot files. I noticed that skiboot is available for Ubuntu, but only for the PPC[64] hosts. Well, I just need skiboot files for qemu on amd64 hosts. Hmm, looks like Debian has a package for these missing qemu files: https://packages.debian.org/sid/qemu-skiboot Could we promote these to Ubuntu repositories, and fix the qemu packages so that they automatically depend on the necessary BIOS packages? For example, openbios-ppc should also be installed when qemu-system-ppc[64[le]] are installed.
