Package: qemu-efi-aarch64
Version: 0~20181115.85588389-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

With an un-patched QEMU running with:

  -drive 
if=pflash,file=/usr/share/qemu-efi-aarch64/QEMU_EFI.fd,format=raw,readonly

will fail cryptically as the image isn't padded to the device size. The
qemu-efi-arm package is currently padded:

$ ls -lh /usr/share/qemu-efi-aarch64/QEMU_EFI.fd 
/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF32_CODE.fd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  64M Nov 26 23:34 /usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF32_CODE.fd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.0M Nov 26 23:34 /usr/share/qemu-efi-aarch64/QEMU_EFI.fd

Whether fixing the packaging or using a patch like currently being
discussed on qemu-devel:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-02/msg05934.html

I leave as a decision for the Debian maintainers ;-)
