Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for a NMU of "aqemu" to fix this RC bug:
#927126  - aqemu: after updating can't open VMs [0].
This bug was fixed in previous NMU aqemu/0.9.2-2.2 bug after discussion
with release team in #929342 [1], I modified the fix before being able
to migrate to buster.

This NMU remove references to VLANs in the description texts.

The maintainer has not responded to this bug at all, nor other bugs on
this package since 26/07/2016.
