This test is an easy way to make sure that at least QEMU's SeaBIOS images work fine. When designing the GRUB test my intent was mostly to test the grub.cfg file and also enable further automatic testing to help catch issues when improving the GRUB configuration. However since the build system inherited from Libreboot 20220710 is extremely fragile, and that GNU Boot also starts having the infrastructure to build on more and more distributions with different compiler versions (we now supports 2 Trisquel version and 1 PureOS version), with setups variations (work is ongoing to add support for building in chroots), it might be a good thing to check if SeaBIOS works. This would also catch bugs like bug #66487 ("RC4: All SeaBIOS images are broken") [1] where the SeaBIOS payload was missing in all images, however it would not catch situations where SeaBIOS is present in QEMU images but missing in other images, so different tests must be done for that situation. In addition it would be costly just to boot a VM to check for missing files.
