Hi Harald,
this would be a backport of [1][2] which I'm fine with in general.
But there are few constraints we need to resolve first - and I get the feeling 
you are more acquainted binfmt than I am - so I'd ask you to help me a bit.

For the SRU policy [3] to apply this must be a bug fix and not a new feature 
and I'm not entirely sure on that. Furthermore we need a clear test case that 
can be verified when backported and in bionic-proposed. And finally I'm not 
deep enough into binfmt through qemu static, it would be great if you could 
take a step back and try to think "what could break if we do this and outline 
that".
To make those statements good and convincing is especially important since the 
affected shar of the Ubuntu community is rather low to start with.

TL;DR:
could you please add statements here that you'd think your be sufficient for 
the sections in [4]
- impact (included why it is a fix and not a feature)
- regression potential (not "it will be safe" but "what could go wrong")
- test case (a list of commands that would work in  Bionic KVM guest for 
example)
