Package: qemu-system
Version: 1:2.1+dfsg-12+deb8u6
Severity: minor

Hello!

Right now qemu-system lists all the architectures qemu supports as
Depends. This results in installation of a dozen of emulators where most
people only need one.

Of course you can install a particular emulator, but most packages, like
qemubuilder or qemuctl depend on qemu-system, so they basically want to
install all the architectures.

Can you please consider setting all architectures or at least rare (non-x86) 
ones as Recommends?
