Comment 1 for bug 422268

I'm very hesitant about this. It seems we would pull an entirely separate emulator into main which we don't actually want to support (since we chose qemu). bochs in turn pulls in vgabios, which needs another MIR.

Unless the server team wants to commit to providing explicit support for bochs, I reject this.

However, it does not seem to me that we actually need this. As you already said on the MIR, it seems much better to split bochsbios into its own source package. However, maybe this is not even necessary.

bochsbios only contains three binary blobs and qemu-kvm uses it as a _build_ dependency, not a binary one. I didn't look into kvm, but I suspect it merely copies these bioses into the kvm binary packages at build time? Couldn't you just copy these blobs into the qemu-kvm source package and drop the build dependency entirely?
