Thank you,
I see you are utilizing the fact that qemu-system-common is a dependency of the
qemu-system-$arch including (= ${binary:Version}) there.
And by adding the same qemu-system-common (= ${binary:Version}) ... we force
them to go together.
Yes in regard to forcing them to move as one, I think that works.
It will add a new dependency, as formerly qemu-system-gui and qemu-
block-extra and such had no dependency to it. There could be a case
where someone wants only qemu-utils which pulls qemu-block-extra which
now pulls qemu-system-common.
But that is IMHO ok for now because:
1. Bbefore it would have pulled the whole qemu-system-any and that is way more,
so it is better now albeit not pulling on nothing
2. Gladly that is small in size "Installed-Size: 4218 kB" and has only a few
helpers, a few .so files and such. even qemu-kvm in there for us isn't too bad
(these users want qemu bits installed when they get there).
3. While adding an extra dependency, yours certainly is easier to read
After the old deps have causes so much issues I wanted to do better.
But your solution is simpler and seems to work without too much drawbacks - I'm
fine with it.
Thank you!
We will pick this up when merging 10.2 which is about now :-)
