It is not more accurate. The thing is: the right binary to use is qemu-system-x86_64, exactly as suggested. But it has other defaults, and other flags are available. While exact kvm behavour is accel= as you noted, a maybe better alternative is -enable-kvm, which, unlike the accel-with-choices option, will fail if kvm isn't enabled instead of falling back to tcg (emulation). Current script suggests to use the new binary, but does not tell anything about the options, and this is, in my opinion, the most correct thing to do, because the user is free to choice which options are more appropriate for a given situation. Tagging as "wontfix" for now. Thanks, /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
