[Bug 819486] [NEW] cannot boot from network - roms missing

[Michal Suchanek]

Public bug reported:

The kvm package does not contain any PXE roms nor does it depend on or
suggest another package containing them.

Debian uses ipxe roms with kvm, and ipxe is already in Ubuntu so I don't
see any reason why there can't be package placing the roms where kvm
searches for them.
