Package: qemu-efi-aarch64
Version: 2025.08.01-1
Severity: normal

Starting with 2025.08.01-1, AAVMF_VARS.ms.fd and AAVMF_VARS.snakeoil.fd
template images, as shipped in the package, has wrong size.  It should
be 64MB, like the main AAVMF_VARS.fd image, while actual size is 786432
bytes.

As the result, when used the usual way with qemu-system-aarch64, it
reports an error:

 qemu-system-aarch64: cfi.pflash01 device '/machine/virt.flash1' \
  requires 67108864 bytes, pflash1 block backend provides 786432 bytes

What's interesting is that edk2 autopkgtests don't seem to run aarch64
tests on x86 (amd64) architecture, so this issue only happens on actual
arm64 host, while it can easiy be noticed on amd64 too.  I think it is
wise to run aarch64 tests on amd64 too.

Thanks,
