qemu-system-x86 is on the recommends list which will pull in upstream qemu. 
Right now the build of Xen modifies the source in a way to look for 
qemu-system-i386 on the path provided by qemu. This also causes seabios to be 
used. ovmf would need testing. Ovmf was not really looked at. So for the next 
release you could file a bug against edk2 which looks to be the source package 
that provides ovmf.
I would try to make everything use/depend on the same generic parts. I would 
prefer if we can more and more get rid of any qemu part being built as part of 
Xen and rather rely on the common qemu package there. As long as 
qemu-xen-traditional needs to be supported we need to keep that in Xen but long 
term it should go.
