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? -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-4-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages qemu-system depends on: pn qemu-system-arm <none> pn qemu-system-mips <none> pn qemu-system-misc <none> pn qemu-system-ppc <none> pn qemu-system-sparc <none> ii qemu-system-x86 1:2.8+dfsg-6+deb9u3 qemu-system recommends no packages. qemu-system suggests no packages.
