Thanks, I was not aware of this! I removed the unneeded packages.

Dear Maintainer,

after upgrading today I received the following qemu-* packages:

[...]

You most likely don't need all these packages, as you seems to
only using x86 version.  It should be enough to install just
qemu-system-x86, and maybe qemu-utils.  But this is unrelated
to your bug report.

I would agree, however, removing, for example, qemu-system-mips would also remove qemu-system for me.

Sure, - qemu-system is an emtpy meta-package which just depends on all
of qemu-system-* variants -- it's here since old days when there was
single qemu-system package with all qemu system emulators, rather huge -
later on I split it into separate families, and most of the time only
one family is used.  You don't need qemu-system, just particular family
of it.

Hopefully all packages which use qemu (like libvirt) has proper
dependency - on particular family of qemu-system or on qemu-system-any.

Thanks,

/mjt
