[Pkg-kde-extras] qtemu can't migrate to testing, plus it's not useful on arches without qemu

[Adeodato Simó]

Hello guys. (Please CC me on replies.)

At the moment qtemu cannot migrate to testing because it is built on
architectures where qemu is not available, and qtemu Depends: qemu.
Besides that, and probably more importantly, it is not useful at all on
those architectures.

May I suggest that you only provide packages for architectures where
qemu is available. To do this, you can either (that I can think of):

  * restrict the Architecture field on debian/control to those
    architectures where qemu is built (currently, amd64, i386 and ppc)

  * do not restrict the Architecture field, but Build-Depend on qemu
    instead; this ensures that the package will not be built (or even
    attempted to) where qemu is not available, plus you don't need a new
    upload when a new architecture builds qemu

In any case, after you implement one of the above (I'd suggest the
second), you should file a bug against ftp.debian.org requesting for the
removal of all !i386 !amd64 !powerpc qtemu binaries. Otherwise, the
package will not be elegible for migration to testing.

HTH,
