Given all that, please talk to the Debian maintainer of the virtme package
- they might be interested in helping to maintain virtme-ng instead, and
it sounds like it would be better for our users if virtme-ng was used as a
direct replacement for virtme.
If they're command-line-compatible, then virtme-ng could build an empty
transitional virtme_*.deb binary package that depends on virtme-ng, similar
to how the transition from pkg-config to pkgconf was implemented. That
would result in virtme-ng fully replacing virtme in Debian 13.
