I dunno if sudo still relies on this field (field #7, tty_nr)
of /proc/self/stat to do its work. But qemu, as of version
10.0 and 10.1, still doesn't provide it. See
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/stable-10.0/linux-user/syscall.c?ref_type=heads#L8218
Since this is a very niche thing which doesn't affect a lot of
software (and even this bug report is questionable now, - it looks
like this particular aspect has been fixed in sudo already), and
since this is actually a confirmed upstream issue, let's adjust
the bug report metadata.
Other fields in /proc/self/stat are also not emulated, and this also
causes no big harm.
Also, the package is qemu-user now.
