+ * d/control: qemu-system-xen: add ipxe-qemu dependency (#1035676)
+
+ When installing qemu-system-xen on a new system, the boot roms are
+ not installed. Unfortunately this means HVM Xen DomUs can not be used
+ at all, because the boot roms are hard requiriment for qemu since 2014,
+ it fails to start without the boot roms even if (network) booting is
+ not requested.
+
+ Before bookworm, when qemu-system-xen was part of regular
+ qemu-system-x86 package, the dependency on ipxe-qemu was coming from
+ that package. But when splitting qemu-system-xen out of it, we forgot
+ that the boot roms are hard dependency now. This makes qemu-system-xen
+ unusable on a new install until ipxe-qemu is installed too.
+
+ An alternative would be to revert upstream commit 178e785fb
+ (from 2014) to make rom loading failure a non-fatal error.
