Hi,

bochs depends on vgabios which has been requested to be removed:
https://bugs.debian.org/895046

qemu, which also used vgabios in the past, has switched to seabios long
ago - perhaps that's an option for bochs, too.

I’ve been trying to get Bochs to work consistently with SeaBIOS,
without success so far. So I’ll adopt VGABios, which has seen some
recent activity upstream, and continue trying to switch away from it.

Regards,

Stephen
