Hello Christian, I am writing to you being a former(?) maintainer of ipxe at Ubuntu.
I've started to salvage the ipxe package in Debian [1] and, as a first
step, plan to bring it to the state it currently has in Ubuntu.
Reviewing the changes and additions applied in Ubuntu I discovered that
with splitting off grub-ipxe [2] the Depends field to package ipxe
changed from
Depends: ${misc:Depends}
to
Depends: ipxe-qemu, grub-ipxe, ${misc:Depends}
While the reason for making grub-ipxe a dependency is obvious, I
couldn't figure why ipxe-qemu is also included.
Why did you choose to do so?
Would you mind me dropping this dependency?
I am aware you did this change years ago, still I hope you have an
explanation for me.
Best,
Sven
