Let me recommend the following to get this issue addressed:
Since there are always features that are in one or the other situation or 
version or a certain platform not supported, the usual way to address this is 
to add a statement/disclaimer to the release notes to get it documented - if 
necessary.
The msg that is given is imho not too bad and pretty common:
"error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'cpu-add': Not supported"
And with the availability of 18.04.1 the recommendation to upgrade from 16.04 
to 18.04 is in place, too.
Creating, testing and rolling-out a new package just with a modified message is 
not appropriate and SRU-ing is probably not possible at all, since SRUs are 
meant to address high impact bugs 
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates).
So if there are no further and hard requirements for a patched package (that 
justify an SRU), I strongly recommend to add an appropriate msg to the 16.04 
release notes and get this ticket closed.
