** Description changed:
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm includes symlinks to files in the vgabios package, but only
newer vgabios packages provide those files. The dependency that natty &
oneiric's qemu-kvm has on vgabios probably needs to be versioned to >= 0
.6c-2ubuntu2 to work well w/ partial upgrades and backports.
+
+ SRU Justifications:
+ 1. Impact: users backporting qemu-kvm need to know to manually upgrade
vgabios first. A versioned depend should be warning them and doing it for them.
+
+ 2. How bug was addressed: the vgabios depends is versioned to ensure
+ that the version provides needed symlink targets.
+
+ 3. Patch:
+ diff -u qemu-kvm-0.14.0+noroms/debian/control
qemu-kvm-0.14.0+noroms/debian/control
+ --- qemu-kvm-0.14.0+noroms/debian/control
