Dear Maintainer,

qemu 8.0 added symlinks to run qemu-system-${DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU}. This is
a great improvement, but you still have to install `dpkg-dev` to
determine `DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU`.

Please add symlinks to run `qemu-system-$(dpkg --print-architecture)` to
avoid needing to depend on `dpkg-dev`. Here is a use case for it:
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/-/merge_requests/80

The non-exhaustive list of additional symlinks would be:

* armhf -> arm
* armel -> arm
