Hello James, or anyone else affected,
Accepted qemu into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/2.0.0+dfsg-
2ubuntu1.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See
qemu-kvm is not a transitional package (check utopic), but obviously
this is non-ideal.
The sysvinit script checks /dev/kvm instead. That would be fine for
newer systems, but older systems where kvm is not auto-loaded at boot
would suffer. I'm not sure if we actually support any such systems

** Description changed:
+ ===
+ SRU Justification
+ Impact: users do not get KSM auto-enabled if they only install qemu-system-x86
+ Development fix: have the qemu-kvm upstart job run if qemu-system-x86 is
installed, not only if kvm is installed
+ Stable fix: same
