Bug Description
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
The network extension BIOS blobs built from the etherboot source are shipped in the separate 'kvm-pxe' package, which probably should be installed by default so that PXE booting works out-of-the-box on virtual machines.
Bumping 'kvm-pxe' to Recommends: (from Suggests:) in the 'qemu-common' binary package would achieve this.

This would require an MIR, as kvm-pxe binary package is built by the
etherboot source package, which has always been is in Universe.
You're welcome to file the MIR, though I don't know the MIR/Security
team would have to say about this...
