Package: qemu-utils
Version: 1:6.1+dfsg-8+b2

Aiming to automate VM image creation, I recognised that on Debian, qemu-img does not support the Parallels virtualizer hds virtual disk image format. Generally it seems to be supported by QEMU, like here on RHEL 7: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/virtualization_deployment_and_administration_guide/sect-using_qemu_img-supported_qemu_img_formats

I guess it is a build flag, or does it have to do with licensing? Generally, it would be great if Debian could add support for Parallels/hds to qemu-utils/qemu-img, when required via contrib or non-free components.

Best regards,

Micha
