DetailsDescription:
With QEMU 6.2.0 a different option rom may be used, if DMA is available. They switched from the old multiboot.bin to the new multiboot_dma.bin. When packaging the binaries multiboot_dma.bin is not picked up in the main package and is instead located in the qemu-arch-extra package. But this option rom is necessary for using the -kernel option for the standard qemu-system-x86_64. This is similar to the linuxboot_dma.bin. A simple fix is attached as a diff. Additional info: * package version: 6.2.0-4 Steps to reproduce: * Install qemu package without qemu-arch-extra * Try to use -kernel option

@henje: Thanks for the report. This should get fixed with qemu 7.0.0 (currently in [staging]).
