I don't think you'd gain much, since that separate 'vma' package would
need to depend on most of the dependencies of pve-qemu-kvm as well (look
at the output of ldd /usr/bin/vma to get an idea ;)).
the vma binary is just a thin wrapper around qemu functions after all.
the format is easy enough[1], so I guess in theory you could write your own
'dump .vma to raw img' binary if you really really want to..
