Not a problem, however, I think I should keep some symlinks pointing
from /usr/lib/ipxe/qemu/*.rom to /usr/share/qemu/*.rom to not confuse
people expecting the roms in /usr/lib/ipxe/qemu.

There's no need to keep any symlinks anywhere.  Just drop (move) the roms
into /usr/share/qemu/ and be done with it.  There's no one to "expect"
these files in there.  And with the current structure there's no need to
have dependency on ipxe-qemu from anything but qemu itself.

But you're free to add whatever complexity and extra layers you'd like.

$ strings /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 | fgrep eepro100.rom
pxe-eepro100.rom

This looks like a premature optimization.
