i just committed patches to use the debian alternatives system for /usr/bin/qemu, although it doesn't do any prioritizing of the host architecture (i.e. the default is always still qemu-system-i386). this preserves the default behavior of /usr/bin/qemu since time immemorial, while making it easier for those who would like a different behavior to configure it. so even though this wouldn't fully address your request, hopefully it is sufficient to close this bug? live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
