Hi,

Our 'qemu' package currently bundles a vast amount of UEFI and other
firmwares (216 MiB), see:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ du -sh /gnu/store/zgyb8wa7ac1s3m9fprcm3qgfklam7ify-qemu-9.1.3/share/qemu
 216M	/gnu/store/zgyb8wa7ac1s3m9fprcm3qgfklam7ify-qemu-9.1.3/share/qemu
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Ideally we should unbundle at least the EDK2 UEFI firmwares at least,
which are quite large:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ du -s /gnu/store/zgyb8wa7ac1s3m9fprcm3qgfklam7ify-qemu-9.1.3/share/qemu/* | sort -rn
