Bug Description
Binary package hint: kvm
starting with kvm 59. a custom built vgabios is being used by kvm which adds support for wide screen modes.
the file in the original tar.gz pc-bios/vgabios.bin has been provided for convenience and should be used instead of the one from vgabios and the dependency dropped.
if you want to build vgabios from sources then execute in the top level directory (as done for bios):
$ make vgabios
this only affects hardy and any future backport that would use kvm>=59

I've added this support to the vgabios package. There's no point in
having both kvm and the vgabios package provide the vgabios images.
Thanks for your bug report!
