Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

There are a few binary packages which are built from
qemu source.  Qemu is an emulator, which can emulate
either whole hardware platform, to run whole OS inside
it, or can run foreign binaries.

Recently we introduced a whole lot of qemu-system
packages for different groups of hardware.  All
these packages has been placed into otherosfs
section, and I think it is correct place for it.

But historically, all other qemu packages has been
in "misc" section.

I think it's time to sort it all out and make _all_
packages produced by qemu to be in section otherosfs,
not in section misc.

This includes, at least:

qemu-keymaps    optional        misc
qemu-system     optional        misc
qemu-system-common      optional        misc
qemu-user       optional        misc
qemu-user-static        optional        misc
qemu-utils      optional        misc

I guess all this should be in otherofs, not misc.

And while at it, qemu-kvm become a dummy/transitional
package, so it moves from optional/misc to extra/oldlibs,
I think.

Thanks,
