Note that currently qemu-system-x86 ships an init script named
qemu-system-x86 and an upstart job named qemu-kvm. These need to be made
consistent. On Ubuntu, we're currently running *both* of them at boot time.

I'm not convinced that it's better to name it qemu-kvm and put it in a
common package, than to have each native arch-specific package to ship its
own. These startup scripts are dead weight on other architectures, better
to optimize them out at package build time.
