SeaBIOS binaries are running on a wide range of qemu versions today.
Changing that is a big deal.  People are not used to it, and even when
writing it to the README people will stumble over it.  It also is pretty
inconvenient in a number of cases.  For starters the usual way to
package seabios and qemu in distros is to have separate packages ...

cheers,
  Gerd
