I was not sure if/how to package LinuxBIOSv2, but I think the upcoming LinuxBIOSv3 can be packaged quite nicely (and works fine in QEMU), so that'll be it. Whether or not v2 is worth packaging at all I'm not sure... > I'm not sure if you're targetting qemu (and bochs/etc) only or real hardware > builds (is the latter feasible for debian?). I definately want to ship a QEMU target, sure. The hardware targets could also make sense in LinuxBIOSv3, as there is a tool which allows you to "inject" any payload into an otherwise "empty" LinuxBIOS image. Also, there will be a linuxbios-source package which you can install and build your own images from scratch, too.
