[pve-devel] [PATCH RFC qemu-kvm 0/1] Provides a qemu-system-x86 virtual package

[Emmanuel Kasper]

This will allow the installation of extra packages requiring qemu
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.

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.

Sending this as RFC as the debian qemu-system-x86 package provides two binaries
qemu-system-i386 and qemu-system-x86_64, and I am not sure if we should provide a
symlink to qemu-system-i386 as well (libguestfs does not need this it in any case)
