i'm planning on uploading the following to experimental with 1.0~rc0:

commit 6dca3316604f9dda61e54e97c6eb6d78a5217660
Author: Vagrant Cascadian <[email protected]>

    split arm, mips, ppc, sparc and x86 qemu-system binaries into their own
    packages, create qemu-system-misc for the rest, and qemu-system-common for
    the shared files.

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-qemu/qemu.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/qemu-system-split

not only does this allow for a more granular qemu-system install, this also 
allows us to properly keep the firmware associated with the appropriate 
qemu-system package.


live well,
  vagrant
