That is quite useful. BTW I think we should mention *which* images can build
QEMU with the most complete dependencies in docs/devel/testing.rst, and I'd make
sure we use that one on patchew.
However there are opinions that such an image should maintain a list of package
names instead of "$pkg_manager build-dep qemu", to avoid dependencies and
assumptions on how downstreams build QEMU, and I'm with that idea. Currently
fedora.docker has a very long list of packages and people try to make it
complete, but last time I audited it, what I remember is a couple packages can
be found on ubuntu/debian are missing on Fedora. This needs more close look. I
don't have a strong preference about distro family, but considering the
maintanence capacity we should focus on one image first and encourage developers
to add packages to the (one) image when a new dependency is introduced,
especially since that patchew doesn't have much horsepower for a whole lot of
redundancy.

I see. I'll leave this to you and Alex to decide.
