/usr/bin/qemu is currently an alternative automatically set up to point to the 32-bit qemu-system-i386. The file /usr/bin/qemu did not exist in precise. It has been again removed in debian, so remove it from utopic and trusty. |

If a user on x86-64 host runs qemu with a 64-bit iso, the resulting boot failure will be very hard to diagnose. Therefore, it is better to simply remove it as debian has done.
(Long term it would be nice to replace it with a wrapper program which runs the right binary based on the running kernel.) |

======================================
Impact: the default architecture emulated by /usr/bin/qemu may confuse users
Test case: ls /usr/bin/qemu
Regression potential: some users could have started to depend on /usr/bin/qemu, however as it did not exist in precise, and points to the wrong architecture on amd64, this is unlikely.
