Package: qemu Version: 0.8.2-4etch1 Severity: important Etch Qemu is half-borked as of Bug 402289. Lenny Qemu needs plenty of new(er) libs, making it incompatible with Etch. It would be very nice if it would be possible to painlessly install a Lenny (or backport) Qemu deb on an Etch server. This is a quite special case because of the nature of Etch and Qemu, so please think twice before a knee-jerk "policy says so" answer. After installing libsdl-console-dev, Qemu 0.9.0 can be compiled from source on Etch and it can be installed, so I guess it should be possible. Such relaxation would provide a free workaround for Bug 402289 as well.
