Package: qemu Version: 0.9.1-5 Severity: minor I was recently looking for an emulator and ruled out qemu based on the following definitive-sounding statement in the package description:
QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports arm, powerpc, sparc and x86 emulation Apparently this is no longer current, because there are qemu binaries in the package for the following systems: * arm * cris * i386 * m68k * mips * mips64 * mips64el * mipsel * powerpc * powerpc64 * powerpcemb (whatever that is) * sh4 * sh4eb * sparc * x86_64 It would probably be better to provide a more complete list in the description, or failing that, to at least say something like that it supports "the emulation of arm, powerpc, sparc, and x86 systems, to name just a few".
