kqemu is contributed, non-free and while nice to have a package in Sid, this is outside the overall Debian realm. Having unneeded dependencies is such a package is not really so nice. I remember (and can still) download the sources, very easily compile and manually copy the .ko to its place and have it work 100%. M-a should be able to do this for me with a bit more convenience :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
