Hello,
virtme already exists in Debian, what would be the benefit of virtme-ng
over virtme?

The original virtme project is not maintained anymore
(https://github.com/amluto/virtme), so we decided to fork the project
and continue the development / bug fixing in virtme-ng
(https://github.com/arighi/virtme-ng).
If the original project is no longer maintained, I'd suggest to keep the same
name and move it into a github group, then invite the original author if he ever
wants to come back. That way there's no need to add new packages with
transitional packages in every distribution. That's e.g. what happened with
terminator. Not sure if it's too late to do that in this specific case.
Cheers,
Emilio
