I think I might mentioned this before, but whenever qemu/kvm or
similar require additional patches either from vgabios upstream for
which there's no release yet, or from their respective local forks,
I'll be happy to apply them (as long as they don't break stuff for
other users).

So there should never be a need to provide embedded copies of these,
by other packages.
