Hi,
first I agree to Coreys first checks.
In terms of packages, arm (as well as ppc) clearly are recommend dependencies.
They have several use cases that work without ipxe-qemu - just not the one that nova-compute-kvm is driving.
If we would follow the depend/recommend definition hard also x86 would become a recommend.
But for historical compatibility x86 stays a depend.
OTOH on arm/ppc there are more (likely) cases were one doesn't need ipxe-qemu.
That said making it a depends from ther qemu- packages is wrong.
The solution is:
1. install with recommends or fix up what you lack (general recommends case)
OR
2. nova-compute-kvm might depend on it since the use case "from nova-compute-kvm" seems to need it always
OR
3. pull it in from the charm or whatever is driving your install.
