Package: qemu
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear qemu packaging maintainers,
the qemu binary package currently transitively depends on all
available system emulation binary packages (via its dependency
on qemu-system). These package are non-trivial in size and most
users won't need all emulators. I have prepared a patch against
current git HEAD that will change nothing by default but allow
the user to have only the emulators installed that they really
want and use.
Regards
Rolf
