Package: qemu
Severity: normal
I use qemu on an amd64 machine, and it's very counter-intuitive that
'qemu' is not the x86_64 one. I undertand that qemu may work on $arch's
that he does not know to emulate, so maybe qemu should just be a
symlink, dealt with alternatives with e.g. a priority of 10 for any
arch, 20 for x86, and 90 for the $arch that matches the hosts one.
(meaning that on amd64 we would have 10 for any qemu-system, except
-x86 which should have 20 and x86_64 90 hence becoming default).

Yes it is.
