This is wrong.  qemu-1.3, and current qemu git tree, uses vgabios 0.7a
from http://www.nongnu.org/vgabios/ .  While seabios provides seavgabios
too nowadays, it is not used in qemu since it does not have protected
mode calls support.

But we may actually ship it (seavgabios) in Debian for qemu for a while,
to see how it goes.  That'll be interesting.
