Adding one more data point and answering a common question.
qemu-user-static should be provided by new qemu-user-binfmt package, not by new qemu-user package. Because old qemu-user-static BOTH provided the binaries AND did an automatic registration of the binfmts. Since new qemu-user-binfmt obviously depends on qemu-user, both will be pulled in, and everything will work for people who used to install qemu-user-static (when it isn't transitional anymore). Why not keep qemu-user-static to be the main package, instead of moving binaries to qemu-user? Because this way, it is difficult to split binfmt registration out of it, and this one needs to be optional in a few contexts. Also, `qemu-user` name is nicer than `qemu-user-static`. Yes, people got used to the -static name, - see above for the work- around. /mjt
