Hey,

I've responded to the bug too (tl; dr - IMHO we should be failing the
instance request).

It might be better to move any discussion that ensues there so that it's
in one place.

Cheers for reporting it though!

FYI, it looks like they're OK with it in Utopic now - the package has
been made and is awaiting SRU verification.

This bug might still be worthwhile, as quite a few folks will likely
stick with Trusty for Kilo. Though, did you by change check the flag
status of the package in the Ubuntu Cloud Archive? It packages a
different Qemu (ver 2.2) to the main repo ...
