Package: qemu-system
Version: 1:8.0.2+dfsg-3

Dear Maintainer,

Running a simple Debian/Ubuntu guest using qemu-system-* needs special
parameters for the machine and cpu on some architectures. That parameter
construction needs to be duplicated everywhere (e.g. in debvm and
initramfs-tools autopkgtest). Please change the default machine and cpu
to be useable.

See https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/debvm/-/issues/15 for the
preceding discussion and
https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/debvm/-/blob/main/bin/debvm-run and
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/-/merge_requests/80
for the used machine and cpu values.

Suggestion:

arm64
-----

machine="type=virt,gic-version=max"
cpu="max,pauth-impdef=on"

arm
---

machine="typ=virt"
cpu="max"

m68k
----

machine="type=virt"

riscv64
-------

machine="type=virt"
