Yes, it looks like they all address the same issue.
Actually, my bug report progressed through several different problems I
experienced in Sarge to arrive at this latest one.
Regarding severity, I really think grave is proper. IMO and as I have said
before, the networking problems are a serious regression and make qemu
largely unusable. IHMO the current situation is _not_ releasable.
I would much rather have the "old" stable situation back in Sarge, i.e:
qemu 0.6.0.dfsg.1-1
bochsbios 2.1.1-10
However, from the other reports I see that the problems should be fixable
with another version of bochsbios.
I feel that one thing that is missing currently in the packaging of qemu
is proper versioned depends. For example, qemu 0.6.1-1 should at least
depend on bochsbios >2.1.1-10 and vgabios >0.4b-1. This would have
prevented some of the problems I had with qemu in Sarge because the
packages migrated independently instead of as a consistent whole.
Thanks for all the good work,
FJP
