qemu 2.1 can be linked with libnuma to support memory placement/pinning
on a NUMA node.  We should build-depend on libnuma-dev.

However there are 2 issues with this, on libnuma side:

1) #682853 -- each new libnuma release will result in waiting for libnuma
  testing migration, because libnuma reverse dependencies are set too strong.
  We had enough of this with librados (ceph) already.

2) it is not arch-all package (or linux-all), instead, only certain arches
  are supported (#724824 #739725).  So we will have to follow libnuma
  uploads and enable extra architectures once they'll be available.

So I'm not sure it's okay to enable libnuma-dev build-dependency at this point.

Thanks,
