Yes, the boot code is missing from debian.  This is a packaging error.
Unfortunately no one noticed this before (it is broken since upstream
version 1.0), and unfortunately it needs an introduction of a new
package - s390-tools - from http://repo.or.cz/w/s390-tools.git -
into debian to fix this.

There might also be a similar issue with ppc and ppc_rom.bin - I need
to investigate it further.

Now, I'm not sure if severity of this bug should really be "important"
and not at least "serious"... :(
