Bug Description
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
After upgrading to Karmic I noticed that only qemu-kvm is supported anymore but it does not include any support for non-x86 architectures. The package description for qemu-kvm-extras provides no indication that it contains the qemu binaries for non-x86 architectures. The package description for qemu-kvm-extras should include a paragaraph similar to this one:
This package contains QEMU emulator binaries for non-x86 architectures.
The package description for qemu-kvm should also include something like this:
This package contains support for the x86 and x86-64 architectures only.
Support for other architectures is provided by the qemu-kvm-extras package.
(On a further note, the man pages for the non-x86 architecutures are in the qemu-kvm package and not in the qemu-kvm-extras package)
