Now, the issue is these are in the source package of the hypervisor, not
in the Git of xen-qemu-dm. Would you consider moving them to it? Or
would you advise me to simply copy the tools/firmware/{vga,rom}bios
folder into my source package and live with it like that?

Or maybe, we should create a new "xen-qemu-roms" binaries out of the Xen
hypervisor package? Bastian, if I give you a patch against your package
to add a xen-qemu-roms binary, would you accept it?
