Hi - Jeremy yes, not in qemu at least.

IMHO this is
a) a user configurable change (add user to kvm group) (so it isn't very high 
severity)
b) a fix in older versions is limited to gnome-boxes which

It makes no sense to do (b) for qemu as it works without it just fine.
The latter changes I mentioned are even better as they also fix gnome-boxes in 
newer Ubuntu versions (via the uaccess method in systemd 239-6 and later).

If it wants to add that we could do the suggested (very) old style "add
all sudo users to kvm group on install" in gnome-boxes postinst then at
least the fix would match the scope of the issue.

Thanks for pointing that out, let me properly mark the tasks to avoid
further confusion.
