If a distro wants to name a binary 'qemu-kvm' it can drop the

Having updated my Debian stable to next stable (trixie) last week, I
noticed that qemu-kvm was removed [1].
I don't know why, when or how, but it's just an example that things can
change, and people can survive to it.

For the concerned other distros, if at least one packager asks us to
provide a "./configure --default-target", it will be an excellent reason
and opportunity to do it.
But before that, let's first build this single binary, let's see if it's
useful, let's see how to use it, and eventually, let's see how to
package this and cover corner cases.
