Package: qemu
Version: 0.8.2-4etch1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Shouldn't /usr/bin/qemu be an alias for qemu-system-$(ARCH), where $(ARCH) is
the native architecture? Defaulting to i386 doesn't make much sense nowadays,
specially since x86_64 is gradually obsoleting it.
See attached patch (already sent upstream).
