** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * Two CVE fixes from upstream and a bunch of packaging fixes from Debian
+  * The only big change is in binfmt which was discussed in detail in
+    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=866756
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * Full virt regression tests were run before the upload.
+    Details are in the linked Merge Proposals.
+    
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * The external spice-ui is already in the code but non functional, so 
+    adding the related .so files can't regress it from dysfunctional to less 
+    than that :-). It has no impact to other areas of qemu (only when the 
+    new arg is used).
+  * placing the svg correctly has no drawback I can think of
+  * the Multi-Arch change also seems safe to me.
+  * the binfmt registration changes are the only ones with a potential 
+    regression if it turns out to not work. But it follows the guidance of 
+    the binfmt owner (cjwatson) and therefore should be much better by 
+    relying on binfmt itself then coding it in qemu itself.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * This isn't technically an SRU, but I have learned that filling these 
+    templates helps the release Team to accept changes while in 20.04 Freeze 
+    time.

  I was made aware by mdeslaur about CVE-2020-10702 and CVE-2020-11102.
  
  While checking for those I also realized that we should pick a few more
  (cherry picks only to not violate Feature Freeze).
  
  This also includes some long term discussions/fixes that I have driven
  myself or tracked with Debian. Adding those would make Focal better so
  lets add those fixes before 20.04 release.
