qemu-efi-aarch64 also provides a padded image:

$ dpkg -L qemu-efi-aarch64 | grep AAVMF
/usr/share/AAVMF
/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_CODE.fd
/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_VARS.fd

The unpadded QEMU_EFI.fd is just provided for backwards compatibility.

Since that's a QEMU patch, and I don't see anything that needs to be
done in edk2 (the source for qemu-efi-aarch64), I'm reassigning to the
qemu package.
