Hi!
What's the reason to require python-pycotap when configuring qemu?
It does not look like an essential part of build procedure, but used
to run tests only, no?

While this python module is shipped with qemu, but for downstream
distributions these are usually stripped off the source tarball.
The reason is simply that it's a very small dependency, and not worth 
the complication of installing it in pyvenv/ on demand.
