Hi,

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

Toggle snippet (4 lines)
$ du -sh /gnu/store/zgyb8wa7ac1s3m9fprcm3qgfklam7ify-qemu-9.1.3/share/qemu
216M /gnu/store/zgyb8wa7ac1s3m9fprcm3qgfklam7ify-qemu-9.1.3/share/qemu

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