Hi Lee o/,
qemu-efi is only a transitional anymore.
It depends on and was replaced by qemu-efi-aarch64.
And qemu-system-arm already has a Recommends on ... qemu-efi-aarch64,
qemu-efi-arm
Since the default is to install Recommends that should already be no
issue.
There are use cases for qemu-system-arm without qemu-efi-aarch64 and we
had bugs and discussions that imply making it a Depends causes problems
for others.
Therefore I wonder what happened that this wasn't pulled in by default.
I've double checked Focal / Hirsute (what release are you on BTW?)

You see it is pulled in from libvirt-daemon-system as well as from
qemu-system-arm?
So we can't make it stronger (depends) and I can not reproduce it over here.
Something is different on your test environment, do you know what?
