Patches 1-3 is just for refactoring / modernizing the qemu packaging Patch 4 has the real change Patch 5 is an optional bug fix We do not take special care for aarch64, as Thomas said this would probably happen in a package with a different name, which could then have its own <package_name>.links file Changes since V1: * move symlinks to new file pve-qemu-kvm.links Changes since RFC: * do not rename the qemu binary, but add a kvm symlink to it * do not rename the qemu man page, but add kvm symlint to it * add a symlink from qemu-system-i386 to qemu-system-x86_64 to better match the Debian package we 'Provides'.
