That's because the VICE in Ubuntu is the VICE from Debian. Like with
many other packages, Ubuntu does not do any own work here, but relies
completely on Laszlo's work on Debian.

When I still was working on it, I just used the original VICE tarball
with the Debian build files. If you started building the packages, you
got complete Debian packages, with the ROMs.

I remember that I had to patch (was it the VICE sources, or was it the
debian/ directory?), because "make install" for the ROMs did not honour
the $prefix. However, IIRC, that patch is already in place, so there is
no need to do anything anymore.

BTW, Ruud, for you as information: Ubuntu also uses Debian (".deb") packages.

Regards,
Spiro.
