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
