(Get the code!)
So one very viable approach would be to use the vgabios.bin and bios.bin that's built/shipped with the qemu-kvm source package.
These are the versions of those bios files "blessed" by upstream and known to work. It's what upstream would prefer that we used, as these are tested with the qemu-kvm 0.12.3 release. As of the 0.12.3 release tarball, it contains all of the source files necessary to rebuild the bios bins. When I packaged and added seabios to Ubuntu, this was not the case (qemu-kvm 0.12.0).
I think I'll do this in the short term, barring any objections.
For Lucid + 1, I'm working with mjt and lool and hoping to get in sync with Debian, and use a common set of packaging between Debian and Ubuntu, which would ideally use the separate vgabios and seabios packages.
