* remove qemu-system-x86 initscript (kvm module loading)
  past jessie or even for jessie.  Modern kernels (3.4+)
  loads these modules automatically.

* fix other binaries (s390-zipl, ppc_rom)

* figure out what to do with kvm initscripts and udev rules.
  Currently we ship kvm udev rules in qemu-system-common, even
  if kvm modules makes no sence on many arches and even if
  corresponding qemu-system-$arch might not be installed.
  We load kvm module (on x86 only) in qemu-system-x86, but
  we don't fix permissions of /dev/kvm at install time (see
  qemu-system-common.postinst).  It all is.. wrong.

  Maybe we should provide all - the kvm udev rules, kvm module
  loading script, and postinst snippet to change perms - in
  all relevant arch-specific packages only when arch is native?
  But how to do that properly?

* permissions/ownership for /dev/vhost_net???

* startup script for qemu-guest-agent: check dependencies & runlevels.

* remove /usr/bin/qemu alternative removing for jessie+1

* maybe provide activation for udev & systemd:

   SUBSYSTEM=="virtio-ports", ATTR{name}=="org.qemu.guest_agent.0", \
     TAG+="systemd" ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}="qemu-guest-agent.service"

  and dev-virtio/ports-org.qemu.guest_agent.0.device activation
  for systemd.

* decide what to do with qemu-bridge-helper (#691138)

* -dbg package(s): these are very large, there are either
  many of them (esp. if we split qemu-system or maybe qemu-user
  to per-target pkgs) or they're unflexible, adds significant
  data to Packages files (which are fetched by everyone), and
  gains little (for the lifetime of qemu-kvm-dbg it was useful
  only once).  I think we will not provide them.

  Below are some old observations about this.

  Current linux-user binaries are built in a way that results in inclusion
  of .gnu_debuglink section in the binaries.  These sections comes from
  Scrt1.o, crt1.o and crt0.o files.  This makes dh_strip --dbg-package,
  which calls

     objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink $dbgfile $binary

  to fail with a "very understandable" error message:

     objcopy:cannot create debug link section ...: Invalid operation

  (file a bugreport against binutils to make this message more explicit)

  A workaround is to strip .gnu_debuglink section using the same objcopy
  first, or add a line

     /DISCARD/ : { *(.gnu_debuglink) }

  to all the *.ld scripts which are used to produce linux-user binaries,
  just like it is done in roms/qemu-palcode/palcode.ld .

  We can have just one qemu-dbg package (with versioned Breaks maybe, or
  without dependencies at all), or we can have qemu-system-dbg, qemu-user-dbg,
  qemu-user-static-dbg.  Current (as of 1.3) size of all debug symbols on i386:

  Total size of the qemu-dbg (all the above) .deb is ~150Mb when compressed
  using default gzip, or 90Mb with

     dh_builddeb -- -Zxz

  Note that in both cases -dbg is much larger than sum of all other binary
  packages.
