I'm not sure what the original rationale was for qemu-common. Removing
it may make sense.

qemu-user is a completely separate package providing the non-accelerated
emulators. If it's missing documentation, then a bug should indeed be
opened against qemu-user.
The docs for qemu, qemu-img, etc are in the qemu-kvm package.

As far as the kvm-pxe dependency goes, however, doing
apt-get install qemu-kvm
shows kvm-pxe in the list of Suggested packages.
Nevertheless, working on getting kvm-pxe and ipxe into main, and then
making qemu depend on them, is the best solution for this bug.
