Bug Description
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.

Thanks for submitting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Note that pxe is enabled by the roms in the kvm-pxe package.
However, I agree that now that ipxe is packaged, its roms should be
symlinked into /usr/share/qemu/.
That probably should be done, as it is in etherboot, in the
ipxe package itself.
