Package: ipxe Version: 1.0.0+git-20120202.f6840ba-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, on last upgrade ipxe was suggested for install (because of qemu). Installation failed because grub hasn't been found. A short tryout showed, that it's not needed for working qemu, so instead of trying to work around install- failure I decided to just purge it. It didn't work.
