Yes, it has.  Sorry about that.

Upstream QEMU recommends that we use the bundled vgabios.bin and
bios.bin in their tarball.

However, these binary blobs are generated by GPLv2 code that is not part
of the release tarball.

Per Ubuntu policy, we are not allowed to ship binary blobs without the
associated source code.

For this reason, we're back to depending on the vgabios and seabios
provided by those two packages.

If someone could help track down *what* particular difference in the
Ubuntu packaged versions of vgabios and seabios is causing this error,
I'm happy to review and upload a fix to one or both of those packages.

Thanks,
