Hi,
A few more words on my rationale. If it doesn't convince you, the
"wishlist/wontfix" would be fine for me too.

If we observe what's in the Accessories menu on a fresh Debian
installation, there are only utilities for "true" end-user, like
Calculator, Take screenshot, Terminal, Text editor...
Tools that are more technical are in the System submenu (that's how I
understand it, at least)

Yep, Freedesktop has no place for vitalization tools. But the difference
between emulator, system simulator, virtual machine, hypervisors, etc..
are sometime very subtle (consider
qemu, qemu-${arch}, qemu-system-${arch}, kvm, etc..)

Freedesktop puts game-emulator on one side and system-emulator on the
other side, which seems sensible to me (separation is based on what user
want to do, not how it's achieved).

As far as the user is concerned, qemulator is qemu and vice-versa.
Thanks for bringing qemulator to Debian.
