Supporting qemubuilder would be a good thing however The symlink
solution requires separate user setup (must be in $PATH) etc. I'd rather
have something that can be controlled via the environment, so we can add
options to gbp too, like:
git-buildpackage --git-qemubuilder --git-qemu-arch=<...> ...
What do you think?
