--- Begin Message ---Package: qemu-user-static Version: 1:2.7+dfsg-3 Severity: wishlist Please move the binaries out of /usr/bin to /usr/lib/qemu-user or so. Compatibility can be provided by symlinks. I'm currently testing foreign architecture support for cdebootstrap using qemu-user-static. It works quiet well by bind-mounting the static binary into the new root. However needing to have information about the exact binary name to use is pretty inconvinient, esp as they don't correspond to the debian architecture names. Having all binaries in one directory would make this problem much easier. Only this directory would need to be mounted in the new root and cleaned up afterwards. Not sure if there are problems with this approach. I should be able to provide patches to qemu. Regards, Bastian -- Without facts, the decision cannot be made logically.
