I don't think hiding dependencies in qemu-common is a good idea.

I am not particularly concerned which roms are used so long as they are
easily available.
As is it is nearly impossible to find the roms. There are many packages
concerning pxe so digging the right one when kvm does not even suggest
it is quite difficult.
The etherboot roms are mostly broken but
Thanks, Michal.
Do you have any suggestions for what we could do to help people find and
use the kvm-pxe roms?
Would you have looked first at the kvm man page for help? If so, do you

The package that requires the roms (qemu-system or qemu-kvm in this
case) should recommend or suggest the package that contains them.
I looked in the man page and I found no information about installing
roms whatsoever. If it is supposed to be helpful in this regard it

Looks like Dustin had invited MIRs for etherboot some time ago, but no
one ever filed one. (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/qemu-kvm/+bug/551474). MIR for kvm-pxe/etherboot or ipxe would
definately be welcome, though of course the security team might still
reject them. If
