Hi, I want to use the powernv machine from the qemu-system-ppcle
application. 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.
