[Bug 551474] [NEW] Should Recommends: kvm-pxe extension BIOS blobs so that PXE "just works"

[Paul Sladen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

The network extension BIOS blobs built from the etherboot source are
shipped in the separate 'kvm-pxe' package, which probably should be
installed by default so that PXE booting works out-of-the-box on virtual
machines.

Bumping 'kvm-pxe' to Recommends: (from Suggests:) in the 'qemu-common'
binary package would achieve this.
