Bug Description
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
Could separate executables for non-x86 architectures be provided in individual packages like qemu-alpha, qemu-mips and so on?
Currently qemu-kvm-extras contains 15 different executables for 8 major architectures. The deb file is 15MB large and installs 44 MB of executables.

I think this is a reasonable suggestion.
I don't use anything other than the main kvm package.
Could you perhaps suggest a logical breakdown of how the package should be split?
Thanks!
