This will allow the installation of extra packages requiring a qemu binary
Bigger use case is libguestfs0 and libguestfs-tools , this has been asked
in a few different forum threads
libguestfs-tools allow to inspect and edit disk images of offline guests
and do not require libvirt domains to be used.
Changes since V1:
* do not rename the qemu binary, but add a kvm symlink to it
* do not rename the qemu man page, but add kvm symlint to it
* add a symlink from qemu-system-i386 to qemu-system-x86_64 to better
match the Debian package we 'Provides'.
While working on the dependencies I noticed, we had a file conflict with
qemu-system-common which is addressed by the second patch
Example use cases:
virt-edit --add /path/to/disk_image /boot/grub/grub.cfg
virt-win-reg /path/to/disk/image "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" ProductName
Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation
See http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html for the relation between libguestfs
and libvirt.
