I refer to ability to install old (wheezy) qemu-kvm package together with
current qemu.  This qemu-kvm in sid is just a wrapper around qemu-system-x86,
while qemu-kvm in wheezy provided actual binary.  I find myself in a situation
when I need to compare how various guests work in current qemu and how they
worked in older qemu-kvm.  It is handy when I can install both at the same
time.

At any rate, the proper Replaces (versioned) is still needed.

Thanks,
