Package: qemu
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear qemu packaging maintainers,
the qemu binary package currently transitively depends on all
available system emulation binary packages (via its dependency
on qemu-system). These package are non-trivial in size and most
users won't need all emulators. I have prepared a patch against
current git HEAD that will change nothing by default but allow
the user to have only the emulators installed that they really
want and use.
Regards
Rolf

The intention of "qemu" package (it is a meta-package) is to install
ALL of qemu, it has been this way historically.
If an user wants to install certain emulator only, [s]he is free to
do that by installing this emulator package only.
There's no need to change dependencies of qemu package. Instead,
it might be a good idea to remove `qemu' binary package completely.
Thanks,
