Closes: #573397. Reopens: #436094. i think the only way to handle this well would be to further split qemu-system so that each package could only depend on the minimal sub-set of bios packages. this is requested in: http://bugs.debian.org/636000 live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
