I double-checked with the upstream folks, and the install rules for Wireshark plugin doesn't have /*/ in there. > - qemu 2.11 built perfectly with zero change. > > - libguestfs 1.36.13 only needed to have fdisk replaced by util-linux as > build-depends (fdisk is now a separate package in Buster). Great. Note: You don't even have to build the versions from 'Buster', which are quite new. Just the slightly more conservative libvirt 3.2.0 and QEMU 2.9.0 -- only if it's possbile.

That said ... I just spent comparing the release notes of libvirt 3.0.0 and libvirt 3.2.0[1][2]. By using libvirt 3.2.0 and QEMU 2.9.0, Debian users will be spared from a lot of critical bugs (see all the list in [3]) in CPU comparision area.
