Maybe a qemu-system-x86-gui metapackage that depends on qemu-system-x86
and qemu-system-gui? qemu-system-gui needs to depend on at least one of
the qemu-system-* packages because without that it's a useless package.
It is a dependency.

That would work for me.

I already had qemu-system-x86 installed, and had been using it before
with the VNC display, but I was doing a livestream and needed to have a
real GUI display so I installed the -gui package. Enough time between
the installs led to the mismatch.

Unfortunately I didn't note down what version I had before.

Thanks,
Iain.
