Even with that in place, are you thinking about backorting current qemu (in stretch) to debian release prior jessie? Are you targetting wheezy? Note that libtool-bin package is in jessie already, and backporting qemu to wheezy and before is a somewhat difficult procedure, since we'll have to backport all the libvirt stack on the way. > Since libcacard package has been split out of qemu, > libtool isn't needed to build qemu anymore.

But it might be easier to disable cacard support in backport instead. Thanks, /mjt
