[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#840853: FTBFS on amd64 - recipe for target 'quickcheck' failed

[Hilko Bengen]

The libguestfs-test-tool run ends with a timeout ("Alarm clock") after
qemu has complained about two missing files:

After one installs sgabios, we at least get an error message that looks
somewhat meaningful.
