Hi there! Saw this bug was tagged 'newcomer' and thought it might be an easy
one to start with, but are we really sure qemu-system-x86 /should/ be a
depends?  According to the policy 'The Recommends field should list packages
that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations',
which seems correct for this case since gnome-boxes is still perfectly usable
with remote boxes without qemu-system-x86. The only unfortunate bit is that it
gives a somewhat unhelful 'Box setup failed' message when qemu isn't installed
and the user tries to setup a qemu-backed box.
