Often issues in one software package resurface (= become visible for the user) as an issue in another software package. I agree with you that the issue of missing iconv converters in $QEMU_LD_PREFIX/lib/gconv/ can only be fixed by Debian/Ubuntu, and that the QEMU developers cannot do anything about it. Still, I call it a qemu user-mode limitation, because that's how it presents itself to the user. Adopting the point of view of the user — as opposed to the point of view of the implementor — is a technique for writing more successful software. Bruno
